The North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh stands as a crown jewel, featuring an impressive permanent collection spanning centuries and a stunning 164-acre park where art meets nature.

The whole family can spend hours at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh, home to fascinating exhibits, live animals, and a three-story waterfall!

History Comes Alive 

Step back in time at Bennett Place State Historic Site in Durham, where the largest Confederate surrender of the Civil War took place. The North Carolina Museum of History brings our state's rich past to vibrant life through engaging exhibits and artifacts.

Just a Short Drive Away 

The Greensboro Science Center combines an aquarium, museum, and zoo for an unforgettable experience. History buffs shouldn't miss the powerful International Civil Rights Museum, housed in the historic Woolworth's building. The Guilford Courthouse National Military Park preserves the site of a crucial Revolutionary War battle, while the Miriam P. Brenner Children's Museum offers endless fun for our youngest explorers.
