Pullen Park
As the first public park in North Carolina, Pullen Park was first established in 1887. A fun fact is that Pullen Park is the 5th oldest amusement park in the United States and it features a traditional carousel with hand-carved animals for the kids to ride. Spread out over its 66.4 acres visitors will find green space, walking paths, playgrounds, Aquatic Center, Pullen Arts Center, and the Theatre in the Park as well. This is definitely one of the best Raleigh, NC, local points.

Established in 1976 by James Chester Raulston, horticulturist, this arboretum and botanical garden has become a famous Raleigh spot. North Carolina State University cares for and runs this beautiful spot that features over 6,000 plants and flowers from over 50 countries.
Breweries & Raleigh Beer Garden
For the beer lovers out there, there may be only a select few places that are better in the whole country.

Fun fact: the state of North Carolina is home to more than 300 breweries and brewpubs.
North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences

Morgan Street Food Hall & Transfer Co. Food Hall
Don’t worry, we didn’t forget about all you foodies. Aside from all the local, mouth-watering restaurants, Raleigh has two fantastic food halls that draw crowds from all over.
