For those familiar with the movie Bull Durham, they might recognize the name, but it does not compare to the real thing. This bar and game room is one of Durham’s must see attractions. The Green Room has several pool tables, two dart boards, and a rocking juke box, but none of this compares to the classic shuffle board table. People may disagree about the bar tender about the house rules, but no complains when serves up the $2 PBRs. This souther bar in heart of basketball country is truly one of a kind

Wheel's is a great place to go on a boring day. You can spend hours skating while listening to music. The staff is kind and keeps everything in order. They also serve food and there are video games available. Wheels is also a great place to host a birthday party for your child. You won't have to worry about kids getting hurt, having to clean a mess, or cooking!

My girls love this museum. There is so much to explore. It adds to the learning experience when you can touch and play with things and this museum has lots of that ability! The Butterfly house is beautiful (go on a sunny day, the butterflies aren't around much on cloudy/rainy days). My girls love the bubble play area. There are some nice themed birthday parties for kids as well.
At Christmas time, the Santa train is a must! The turn their normal train into the Santa train - you ride the train to the North Pole to see Santa at his workshop. On the way back to the station, you look for Rudolph. It is one thing we do every Christmas.

It's springtime and it's sunny outside... how about a picnic?!? Duke Gardens is my favorite picnic spot! Especially now that all the flowers are blooming. Down by a creek is a big grass field and you can sit in the shade or play freezbie out in the sun. If you're a photographer, this is an amazing place to visit.

This driving range is very frequently packed towards the evening hours (as well as around lunch) so you might want to arrive before dinner. The Golf Center has several pros on staff who give lessons at a fair price (better than from some other local golf courses) and the price for a bucket of balls is very competitive.
Has a section of tees on fake turf for when the ground is too wet.

I have been a regular golf player for long time and I haven't been to The Golf Center for a while due to the fact that the place had not been maintained properly for a long time. I just went there to try again since my friends told me that the management had been changed to a new owner and the place is much better now. IT IS PRETTY GOOD NOW! They got all new brand name golfballs, not like other ranges in the area, the grass tee box has been improved a lot, the sand bunker is being fixed up, the putting area is being worked on, and many things. I even hear that the new owner is building a roof on top of the tee boxes for rainy or sunny days, with fans for summer and heaters for winter. The place is looking better everyday. I could tell the new onwer, who is a golf pro, is investing tons of money to make it a great golf practice facility. I would recommend this place to anyone. I am definitely going to use this place regularly from now on to improve my overall golf skills. On top of t hat, you can't beat their price, with pre-paid cards.
Pros: Open late with lights, new golfballs, price, have both grass and mat, alignment tools on grass, etc...
Cons: Road construction in front. improvements not finished yet, artificial putting area.

It's springtime and everyone should be outside! It's also baseball season which gives us a new spring activity. Durham Bulls are a big baseball team in the triangle area and the games are fun to go to with family, friends or even on a date. You can get food, beer, whatever and they also have student discounts so it's not expensive to get in! So take someone out to the ballgame!

It's one of those "everyone knows your name" kind of places. Which is great when everyone indeed knows your name. However, it can be a bit boring and/or dissatisfying to a newcomer! Generally friendly folks, decent selection. It would be nice if they would ever fix the air filtration system, though - the place gets very smoky.
