They have a deal where they offer entry and a meal for around $51 a person. That's the way to go. What we ended up getting for lunch would normally cost around $15 pp but with this deal its around $11 so you save 4 bucks. I really liked the fact that most people were dressed fairly modestly. They do allow you to bring outside food and drink. The kids loved the rides and there were life guards everywhere. I even asked one of them a question and she never took her eyes off the people while answering my question. Hailey at Luigi's Pizza was awesome! Very friendly and helpful. My only con was we had to pay $20 for parking after already paying $300 for the tickets but with that said we loved the park and would definitely come again.

Lake Johnson Park is one of Raleigh's best spots when you want a workout that actually comes with a…read moreview. The 3-mile loop gave me the perfect mix of cardio, scenery, and just enough challenge to keep things interesting. The trail is mostly paved and very well maintained, but there are also a few off-road paths if you want to switch things up. The lake views are gorgeous throughout the walk, and the heavily wooded sections make it feel peaceful and shaded even on warmer days. I also appreciated that the trail has a few solid uphill stretches. I'd say it's ideal for intermediate walkers, runners, or cyclists looking for a scenic challenge without venturing into hardcore hiking territory. The only downside is the parking situation, which can get pretty tight during busy hours. Still, once you're on the trail, it's absolutely worth it. Raleigh really lucked out with this gem of a park.
