A sculpture of a kit fox can be found at the Aiken Visitors Center and Train Museum. The kit's name is Freight.

A different kind of fox hunt is available in Aiken. Kitting Around Aiken, a partnership with the City of Aiken and Kitfox Pediatric Dentistry, is a permanent public art project and scavenger-style hunt for sleuths of all ages to enjoy. Six bronze baby foxes, or kits, have been installed in some of Aiken’s most popular destinations to encourage locals and tourists to stay and play downtown. The bronze foxes – Freight, Fender, Flora, Franklin, Flo and Fable – can be found respectively at The City of Aiken Visitors Center and Train Museum, The Alley, Teague Parkway, The Willcox, the Laurens Street fountain near First Presbyterian Church and at the Aiken County Public Library Park.
