Raleigh North Carolina Tourism At a GlanceBest Time to Visit Raleigh North Carolina
The mild climate makes the area a pleasant year-round destination, although with NC State, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Duke University and other smaller schools in the area it can be difficult to get a room during the graduation season. Likewise, football and basketball seasons put rooms at a premium. North Carolina is serious basketball country. Click Here to find hotels in Raleigh.

Public transportation is underdeveloped and visitors who fly into the area should rent a car. Most of the major car rental companies have airport outlets. Chapel Hills university area is walkable; the rest of the area requires a car for even short distances. In-Season Costs
With the exception of a few gourmet eateries and some prime specialty shops, this is an inexpensive destination for business or pleasure.

Area museums only ask moderate admission fees. North Carolina Tourism - Raleigh Attractions, Activities and Day Trips
Wilmington, North Carolina, home of the Battleship North Carolina, on the coast is a favorite day trip destination for locals -- this in addition to Wrightsville Beach. The North Carolina State Zoological Park in Asheboro is probably the best family style attraction in the area; its a walking-intensive trip so best to schedule it sometime other than July or August when the humidity can zap your energy.

The Wailin' Jennys - Presented by PineCone, Apr 15, 2010
Canadian Acoustic Trio 8:00 PM 4/15/2010
Category: Raleigh Concert event in North Carolina
Description of this Raleigh Event: Two years ago, the Canadian acoustic trio The Wailin’ Jennys performed to a sold out house in Fletcher Theater. Because you demanded it, the Jennys are back for what is sure to be another evening of brilliant harmonies and meaningful lyrics. Soprano Ruth Moody (guitar, banjo, accordion, bodhran) and mezzo Nicky Mehta (guitar, harmonica, ukulele, percussion) are charter members who've anchored the Jennys since the first line-up formed in their Winnipeg hometown. The critical third voice, an alto who fills out the chordal range of the group’s brilliant harmonies, is stand-up bass player Heather Masse. Don’t miss your opportunity to catch the Jennys while they are back in Raleigh. http://www.thewailinjennys.com or www.pinecone.org for additional info. PineCone Box Office: 919-664-8302
