Summertime is Calling Me to Chapel Hill and Orange County
by Patty Griffin | May 20 2011
Going on summer vacation? Want some ideas for a quick weekend getaway? Summertime in Chapel Hill and Orange County means seeing the venus flytraps at the North Carolina Botanical Garden, enjoying a puppet play in the historic Forest Theatre, or jamming to a rock band or watching a family movie under the stars at the Locally Grown events on the Wallace Deck in downtown Chapel Hill. Also, don’t miss the great music, food, and crafters at the Hilllsborough Last Fridays events.
If your ideal getaway includes a four star restaurant, southern BBQ, or a cheeseburger and a cherry coke, you’ll find it here. If it includes museums of European Masterpieces or a hands-on place for kids to learn about art, you’ll find it here at Ackland Art Museum and the soon to be re-opened Kidzu Children’s Museum. Or you can see tons of Art in one evening on the 2nd Friday ArtWalks in Chapel Hill and Carrboro.
If you want to gaze at the stars with new fulldome technology at the Morehead Planetarium & Science Center or walk the grounds of the oldest public univesity in the country, you’ll find it here. Or if you want to lounge by the pool at the hotel, stay in an historic georgian inn or try a quaint B&B… well you know the drill…it’s here.
In fact, Chapel Hill and Orange County has all you need for the perfect summertime visit, rather for the day, weekend or longer. Call the Chapel Hill/Orange County Visitors Bureau for a free Visitors Guide at 1-888-968-2060.
