We spent a year picking Raleigh's 50.

We spent years chasing bucket list adventures around the world. Then we looked closer to home. It took us about a year to pick the 50 Raleigh adventures in this box: the classics, plus the spots even locals miss.

What a great idea! No more weekends of ‘what should we do?’ And ‘I don't know what do you want to do?’

We live here and didn't even know lots of these places existed. Thanks for giving us the treasure map to find them!

I got these cards as a gift for my fiancé, and he got so excited when he opened them! They were such a hit, that we are gifting them to his siblings and parents as well for Christmas this year!

My husband and I have been married 22 years and needed a boost on date adventures. This has been an easy way to get us out of our comfort zone. Thank you

Questions

Before you scratch

I've lived in Raleigh for years. Will I have done all of these?

Probably not. Each list mixes the classics with lesser-known spots like the giant trolls at Dix Park and paddling the cypress trees at Robertson Millpond. Most locals tell us they hadn't heard of a lot of them.

How far do I have to drive?

Every adventure is within about 90 minutes of Raleigh.

Do the activities cost extra?

Some are free and some have an entry fee. The $ icons on each card show the cost range before you scratch, so you can choose a free day or a splurge.

What if a place closes?

Places change over time. Every card has a QR code that links to the latest details we have, so give it a quick scan before you head out.

Who is it for?

Couples looking for date ideas, families, friends, people new to the area, and anyone who's tired of doing the same three things every weekend.

What if they already have one?

Exchanges are free for 30 days. Swap it for another city, state or hiking list.
