    We had a lot of fun at this farm. The animals were so cute and seemed very well cared for. There were plenty of things to do and the staff was so friendly and helpful! We plan to go again soon in the near future.

    This visit was a slam dunk!

    When looking for things to do in the area, I was thrilled to come across this museum! Being a long time Michael Jordan fan, nothing makes me happier than seeing where he hailed from. The museum was a basketball court with loads of memorabilia. So awesome to see bits and pieces of his life leading up to the man and amazing ball player he became! Many other ball players represented as well. A great place to visit!

    Downtown Chapel Hill has some interesting history and buildings, especially the UNC campus. We visited with a free guided tour, which offered a lot of fascinating historical facts.

    This is a small but lovely arboretum on the UNC campus in downtown Chapel Hill. We very much enjoyed strolling among the plants and trees, many of which were blooming.

    Oh my goodness! This just about took my breath away!! I’ve never been fortunate enough to attend a basketball game or much less a tournament here, but I have certainly watched a many on tv. I love Dean Smith and his famous 4 points play as well as the players!!

    There is not a bad seat in the house. We had a wonderful time here. The audience was a mix of senior citizens and college students. Everyone enjoyed the play.

    Scott was great at sharing his passion and knowledge of distilling. The samples were generous as well. A very great time was had by all.

    I'm a big football fan and living in South Carolina there's lots of that. Duke, NC State, North Carolina, South Carolina, Wake Forest, Coastal Carolina, Clemson and more. I enjoy going to different stadiums to experience college football from different views. Chapel Hill was a great Experience. Wasn't a lot of areas for tailgating but they did have lots of areas for tent parties. Parking was a few blocks away in one of several parking garages and wasn't expensive. Inside the stadium was about the same. Concessions and snacks all around. The fans were loud and the game was awesome. I'm use to South Carolina and William Brice Stadium where we have lots of tailgating before, During and After the game. This Stadium was smaller and had little reserved tailgating.
