Are you still deciding on your next vacation spot? Are you looking to move to a place with a lot of fun things to do? Look no further than Greensboro, North Carolina.
This unsuspecting corner of the Carolinas is filled with plenty of unconventional and unexpected attractions and activities that will make your stay exciting and worthwhile, no matter how long you decide to stay.
If you’re buying a home, looking at Greensboro apartments for rent, or just interested in seeing someplace new, here are a few of the places you can’t afford to miss during your time here.
Wet ’N Wild Emerald Pointe
Wet ‘N Wild is the most popular family water park in the Carolinas, and for good reason. From high-speed slides with nearly 90-degree angles of descent to leisurely rides through the park on a lazy river, Wet ‘N Wild has something for everyone.
There are several water play areas for different age groups from 2-7, and for older guests with more of an interest in thrill rides, attractions like Dragon’s Den and the Edge will provide that. This park prides itself on its healthy mix of thrills and family-friendly attractions that give the park a certain charm.
Break ‘N Bash
Have you ever wanted to take a bat or a club to something but don’t want to deal with the aftermath of clean-up? Break ‘N Bash is the perfect place for you. Founded in 2018, Break ‘N Bash calls itself a “first of its kind recreational therapy business” and is designed with the purpose of stress relief in a safe and judgment-free environment.
Visitors are provided their chosen instrument of destruction and given free rein (with some supervision) in a controlled demolition environment with the purpose of letting out all their pent-up aggression. It’s truly an unforgettable experience.
Greensboro Science Center
Greensboro Science Center is the most wide-reaching and effective education and activity center in North Carolina, so naturally, it’s a favorite among residents. From the conventional exhibits in the zoo, aquarium, and museum sections to the more extravagant attractions like the
Inside Tracks, which takes you inside the animal exhibits, the multiple IMAX theater experiences, and the outdoor attractions Flyaway and Skywild. If you go nowhere else during your time in Greensboro, make your stay worthwhile by heading to the Greensboro Science Center.
Barn Dinner Theatre
For 53 years, Barn Dinner Theatre has been providing a unique dinner theatre experience to guests from all over the Carolinas. The performers offer a Broadway-style exhibition every Wednesday-Saturday as well as a matinee performance every Tuesday and Sunday. The tables are placed at a comfortable distance from the stage, encouraging guests to engage with the performers.
Speaking of, the performers are professionally trained and dedicated to giving visitors a fun time every time they go onstage. There are fresh new shows every month, so if you’re looking for a fun way to spend your evening or afternoon, check out their listings.
