Raleigh is a city that certainly has something for everyone. About five years ago my husband and I visited the area and fell in love. For families, the parks here are amazing-- the city of Raleigh does an amazing job preserving historic buildings and sites for future generations, as well as incorporating new playgrounds for little ones. For museum buffs, you can enjoy the NC Science museum, History museum or take in the NC Museum of Art all for FREE. Fellow antique shoppers can always find something amazing at the Raleigh Flea Market on the weekends. Culinary connoisseurs will delight in the 1200+ local restaurants to choose from, but if you prefer to use local fare to cook up a gourmet meal on your own look no further then the State Farmers Market. Everything from produce to meat & seafood is available here year round. Raleigh has a vast array of bars, craft brewery's and pubs for those seeking the night life. Take a pedal powered trolley pub around the city and enjoy the sights as you sip a local craft brew. Whether you are all about family or just here to explore, Raleigh can accommodate for whatever it is your looking for.
