This is a really cool living history village where you can learn more about North Carolina history. There are lots of hands-on demonstrations that you can watch and it's a beautiful place to spend an afternoon.
This is our all-time favorite brewery and the place you can usually find us on a Sunday afternoon. There is both a Greensboro and Winston-Salem location. This is a must if you like craft beer.
This is one of our favorite state parks! It's just a short drive from Winston-Salem, but provides beautiful hikes to summits or waterfalls! If you're outdoorsy, this is a great place.
WE LOVE THE ZOO. This is a great way to fill up a day and it's one of the best zoo's in the country! Take a picnic lunch and make a day of it. It's affordable and great for families!
If you want to head to Greensboro, this is one of our favorite spots. It's a bar AND an arcade with a really great pizza truck out front. Think DDR, classic pinball, air hockey, and beer. Cool for kids and adults!
This is a vineyard and llama farm. It's exactly what it sounds like. Grab a glass and stroll through the vines while saying hello to llamas, chickens, mini horses, and donkeys.
This is a great (free!) place to stop by if you're in Greensboro to learn more about the history of the city. There's a fantastic urban park (LeBauer Park) next door that's a great place for kids to run around. Bonus: this is all in downtown Greensboro, which is easily walkable and has lots of gems. Other favorite downtown palces include: Scuppernong Books, Natty Greene's Brewing, and the International Civil Rights Center and Museum (this is where the 1961 Woolworth lunch counter sit-in began!)
Salem Lake has several trails, a playground, picnic areas, and boat rentals! A great place to hang out with family.
