Things To Do
Barbecue Center
If you're craving Lexington-style barbecue while in town, this is Hayley's family's favorite place! After your meal, be sure to order the ice cream sundae!
Bull City Ciderworks Lexington
A family-friendly spot in a refurbished cotton mill. They offer locally brewed ciders, craft beers, and wines. Check their website for food trucks, live music schedules, and more!
Childress Vineyards
If you're into wine, Childress offers wine tastings and a full food menu. You can eat indoors, or sit out on the wide covered patio if the weather is nice. Check their website for summertime events as the wedding date nears.
Uptown Lexington
Need a way to spend a summer afternoon? Lexington offers dozens of mom-and-pop shops, antiquing, a nostalgic candy shop, locally-crafted pottery, coffee shops, and a plethora of food options. If you're hungry and on a budget, check out the Barbecue Center, Southern Lunch, or Char's Hamburgers. Or, if you'd prefer something nicer, try Rustic Roots, 2nd & Main, Sophie's Cork and Ale, or El Comedor. After lunch or dinner, visit Red Donut Shop or the Candy Factory for dessert.
Downtown Salisbury Inc
If you are staying in Salisbury and want something to do, check out downtown! There are more shops and dining options than in downtown Lexington, and there are great parks and walking trails for those of you with kiddos.
N.C. Transportation Museum
If you have young kids who are into trains, the Transportation Museum in Spencer (between Salisbury and Lexington) offers train rides and other fun activities.
