We live in Cary, friends just arrived and it's 99 degrees out. Does anyone have ideas what we can do in the next few days that's "touristy?" We're familiar with the museums but what else would be interesting? (We have ONE day (maybe two) and need to stick near the triangle area)
TIA!
Despite the heat, I'd suggest bringing lots of water and seeing the Arboretum in Raleigh, the Botanical Gardens in Chapel Hill, or Duke Gardens in Durham.
If you're up for a one day road trip, there is the aquarium at Fort Fisher.
Live music, try the WKNC rock report for a list of venues if rock, blues, or house are your thing.
I second this! My friends from other areas have loved visiting Duke Gardens, and you can just stop by for an hour in the morning while it's still pleasant out.
Imax downtown followed by one of the museums..
I'd like to see " Greatest Places " there myself.
