Beauty & Ink Artistry

More than 700 athletes, 500 coaches and nearly 600 volunteers meet every June for the Special Olympics North Carolina Midsummer Tournament. Add in the large number of family members as well as friends and supporters and you've got an event of epic proportions. These very special kids work so hard all year long for this opportunity to shine in their sport of choice, and the continued support and love from the community is inspiring not only for them, but for their families, teachers, and friends as well.

The North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences gathers some of the most dramatic examples of nature's artwork and presents the wonder and mystique of the various exhibits in a way that will entertain and educate the whole family.

If man's best friend is part of your family, he needs to get out and enjoy some recreation just like you do. Take your dog to the Oakwood Dog Park for a great game of fetch or just let him run around and enjoy the thrill of being outdoors. There is a large dog area as well as a small dog area for older dogs or those that may be anxious around larger dogs. Either way, the exercise and fun will benefit both dog and owner!

Nothing like puttering around with the kids on a fun and unexpectedly challenging miniature golf course at Adventure Landing.
