Great option for families! Outdoor and indoor exhibits. There is also a large playground so plan to spend plenty of time here!
Stop here for breakfast on your way out of town or for lunch on Saturday before the wedding. Menu has biscuits, donuts, salads and sandwiches. It is worth the wait if the line is long!
Our go to spot. We would always grab a beer after I picked up Dan from the airport Friday afternoon when he'd visit for the weekend.
Great spot for hiking or trail running. Cox Mountain trail is our favorite loop to walk or run! About 20 minutes from downtown Durham, stop at Monuts on the way back to the hotel for a post run snack.
Technically in Raleigh, about 30 minutes from downtown Durham. Another favorite spot for trail running or a walk in the woods! Recommend Company Mill or Sycamore trails for more technical footing or the multi use trails for mountain biking or less technical running. Make a big loop with the multi use trail from the Reedy Creek parking lot for a great long run.
Another good spot for breakfast or lunch! They have great outdoor seating if the sun is shining.
Take a walk around East Campus (a short-ish walk from the hotel) or extend your route by continuing down Campus Dr and find your way to West Campus to check out the famous Duke Chapel.
Close by trail great for a walk or run. Just under 3 miles for the loop, plenty of parking!
