  This is probably one of my favorite hidden gems in our area! Never disappoints from the miles of trails, the pocket park for little kids (complete with covered area), art classes, concerts, movies and the exhibits. Always something for everyone even if you aren't an art enthusiast! The parking is easily accessible too. Would highly recommend to anyone living here or visiting!

  I wish I’d allowed myself more time here during my Raleigh visit. I’d love to have seen the park. I spent most of my time in the west building, looking at the impressive Rodin collection, which was definitely the highlight for me. My favorite exhibition in the east building was Audubon’s The Birds of America. The museum owns a complete set of the four-volume work, and they display one page per volume, changing them every few months. So worth visiting this free museum for that alone. The staff there were friendly and helpful and made me feel welcome. I’d love to go back someday.
