Put the pedal to the metal at the Rush Hour Karting track. This is a fun, state-of-the-art indoor raceway, where you can get your kart to go as fast as 40 miles per hour as you compete for the best time and the championship title!

No trip to the area would be complete without a stop in Historic Hillsborough. Classically-styled homes, churches and various other buildings make up this richly storied part of the world that, not surprisingly, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Burning Coal Theatre Company isn't your usual thespian experience.

So, for an intimate yet interactive theater experience that you won't ever forget, light a fire to the Burning Coal Theatre!
