June 5 is First Friday, a monthly downtown event where many art galleries stay open late and special pop-up events take place throughout Raleigh. One of our favorite stops is Artspace, which features rotating exhibitions and booths showcasing local artists. Check the link below for other First Friday happenings.
The North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences is a free activity and a great way to pass time before the wedding. It features exhibits with dinosaur bones, live animals, and plenty of interactive educational experiences.
