Dylan & David
Things To Do
Boxcar Bar + Arcade
Large variety of arcade games—new and old—and pinball machines. Plus a full bar and great selection of beers. Dylan loves to play Mrs. PAC-man and pinball. David loves to play NFL blitz and the shooting games.
North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences
Fun place to spend a few hours looking at exhibits! Dylan loves the bugs and butterflies. David loves the dinosaur exhibits.
Videri Chocolate Factory
Local chocolate shop! Enjoy the amazing smell of fresh made chocolate the minute you walk in the store. If you get there at the right time, you can watch the chocolate get made! Dylan and David recommend getting the drinking chocolate and some truffles.
Chuck's Burgers
Probably the best burgers in downtown Raleigh. Get a gourmet burger and share some sides! If you're feeling frisky, yet a boozy shake—or just a regular one.
Bida Manda Laotian Restaurant and Bar
Excellent Laotian/Thai food! Try the pad Thai and the Laotian tea!
Brewery Bhavana
Right next to Bida Manda. Enjoy some Laotian small plates/tapas and some of the best craft beers in Raleigh.
Marbles Kids Museum
If you have little ones with you, this is a great spot to let them explore and maybe even learn a little!
North Carolina Museum of History
Check out some exhibits about North Carolina history and more!
Umstead Park - Reedy Creek Parking
If hiking suits your fancy, this State Park is probably the best place in Raleigh to enjoy nature!
