3 days in Raleigh Itinerary

For those not from the South, Raleigh might be one of the region's better-kept travel secrets.

Bring the kids along to North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences and Pullen Park. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Raleigh: Durham (Duke University Chapel, Sarah P. Duke Gardens, &more) and Fayetteville (Airborne and Special Operations Museum & Room Escape Games). There's lots more to do: get curious at Marbles Kids Museum, admire the masterpieces at North Carolina Museum of Art, and look for all kinds of wild species at Fletcher Park.
