It hosts numerous events such as music festivals, drive-in movies, and pop-up museums. You can even visit the flower fields to see some beautiful blooms. If you&#8217;re staying in the city, don&#8217;t miss the North Carolina Symphony and Ballet, or catch a show at the nearby Raleigh Opera House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another popular attraction is the North Carolina Museum of Art. This museum houses more than 5,000 years of art and features the largest museum art park in the country. You can also explore the contemporary art museum, which features rotating exhibitions of local and international artists. Artspace, meanwhile, is a community center for artists, and it&#8217;s home to over 30 artists. In addition to art museums, you can enjoy a lively nightlife scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite being a large city, the cost of living in Raleigh is far lower than many other tech hubs. For example, a family from Orange County recently moved to Raleigh after their son landed a job with the video game company Epic. But, when they found out the cost of housing, their reaction was startling. The price of a one-bedroom apartment was more than twice the cost of a comparable home in New Jersey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sports fans will also enjoy ice hockey games in Raleigh. The city&#8217;s NHL team, the Carolina Hurricanes, won the Stanley Cup in 1997. The Carolina Hurricanes attract fans of all ages to PNC Arena, which seats nearly 19,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also enjoy the outdoors at Pullen Park, the city&#8217;s oldest amusement park. It&#8217;s six-plus acres of outdoor fun and is considered one of the oldest in the country. There are attractions and recreation for families of all ages, including pedal boat rentals, train rides, and an historic carousel. If you&#8217;re looking for a way to relax and enjoy the outdoors, there are several parks in the city where you can play tennis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite being a major city, the city still has plenty of outdoor activities, including hiking and biking. Whether you&#8217;re looking for a romantic getaway or a weekend with the kids, there&#8217;s something for everyone in Raleigh. The Capital Area Greenway is a network of trails that cover more than 100 miles of open space. While most of the trails in the city are under five miles long, others are longer, including the Neuse River Trail that&#8217;s nearly 27 miles long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city&#8217;s wineries and distilleries offer an abundance of wine, spirits, and spirits. Visitors can sample some of the world&#8217;s best wines at the many wineries in the region. A visit to these places will be sure to leave you thirsty for more! A weekend is just enough time to explore the city&#8217;s diverse attractions. If you&#8217;re lucky, you&#8217;ll even find time for a little wine tasting in Raleigh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re planning a trip to Raleigh, North Carolina, you&#8217;ve probably heard of the Dorothy Dix Park, a park curated by hip hop artist J Cole.
