Any more "do" activities? My niece, whom the baby shower is for, works at the Contemporary Art Museum (CAM). Are there any other museum type activities? What is it, the North Carolina Museum of . . . .. Natural History? or was it Museum of Modern History. Can't remember.

Eating dinner at over the falls in wake forest and then walking next door to Brooks Street Bowling for a little bowling. It's new and very hipster feeling. Full bar there as well. You may have to reserve a lane on the weekend nights.

Sparians in north Raleigh is another great bowling alley. Very pricey and you have to reserve on a weekend night. You can order your food and beer right at the lane. An upscale feel to a bowling alley. Across the street is the world of beer.

My fav to take guests in downtown Raleigh at night is Tir na nog. Great food and beer selection. Usually entertainment on weekends. Darts there too.
