I meant to write a detailed post about places to go and things to do with a focus on science/nature at the beginning of summer but never made it. But I am glad that Tracy did it for me.
In addition to the things she listed, including the awesome North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh, Museum of Life and Science in Durham, Hemlock Bluffs Nature Preserve and Stevens Science Center in Cary, Morehead Planetarium and Science Center in Chapel Hill and JC Raulston Arboretum in Raleigh, I'd also add NC Botanical Garden in Chapel Hill, Sarah P. Duke Gardens in Durham, The Science House at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, Carnivore Preservation Trust in Pittsboro and the fantastic NC Zoo in Asheboro.
Not just for kids - adults will love all of this as well.
