Things To Do
North Carolina Museum of Art
A cool place to go to experience all the beauties of art! The museum features both outdoor and indoor exhibits.
Lake Johnson
A family friendly lake and park- enjoy a nice hike or a ride around the lake. This is our pup, Franklin's favorite spot in Raleigh to make friends & explore!
The Pit Authentic Barbecue
In the warehouse district of Raleigh! Get a taste for the south with some authentic BARBECUE. Bonus: Next door is a a great family friendly barcade, 'Boxcar Bar + Arcade.' Be sure to play some games while you're waiting for your table!
Sitti
If you're looking for a nice sit down dinner and you like Lebanese food, this place is great! We struggle to leave here without overeating!
Trophy Brewing & Pizza
This is one of our favorite breweries in NC and they have great pizza. We go here a lot and recommend trying Trophy Wife or Cloud Surfer if you like IPAs, but all their beers are good!
Triangle Rock Club - Raleigh
We go here atleast 3 nights a week! This is a great rock climbing gym if your looking to get a sweat in or maybe just an adrenaline rush!
Boxcar Bar + Arcade
This place has tons of classic arcade games and pinball, N64, Air Hockey, Skee-Ball, DDR... etc. Definitely a cool spot to enjoy a beer and unwind.
JC Raulston Arboretum
Explore these gardens for a beautiful summer stroll!
State Farmers Market
Tons of homegrown goodies here if you want fresh produce, homemade goods, flowers or just want to check out the scene.
Flying Saucer Draught Emporium
This place has Taps as far as the eye can see! Whatever style of beer you like I guarantee they have it and the staff gives great recommendations if your not sure what you like. If you want something to eat with your beer the pretzels are our favorite. Get the beer cheese and spicy mustard with it, but be careful with the mustard it'll sneak up on you.
North Carolina Museum of History
Great place to spend a few hours in A.C. and get a bit of history! Bonus: The Museum of Natural Sciences is right around the corner!
North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences
If you love science and love museums, check this spot out! One of our favorite places to pop in for a quick (and free) weekend activity downtown. There are 3 floors of exhibits to experience. Bonus: The NC Museum of History is right around the corner!
Knights Play Golf Center
Hit some balls at the driving range or play a round of golf! This ones close to the linked hotels.
