The atmosphere is welcoming and stress-free, whether you feel like Picasso... or more like "stick figure specialist." The staff is friendly and helpful, guiding you just enough while still letting you do your own thing. There are plenty of pieces to choose from, so it's easy to find something that fits your mood or style. Perfect for a solo outing, date night, girls day, or family fun. You walk in with a blank canvas and leave with something uniquely yours... plus a little extra joy tucked in your pocket. Highly recommend if you want a creative experience that feels playful, calming, and just plain happy.

I loved that there were multiple entrances and exits to the parking entrance and exit. Handicap…read moreparking was close and in an empty rented field next to the arena. They do have a small concession stand doing hot dogs hamburgers soda. All tickets and concessions are done in cash only. They had plenty of bleacher seating located all around the arena. I loved the ranch rodeo that I saw here. I would absolutely come here again. Only issue, only a few port a johns. Which got full and stinky fast. I also saw multiple people hanging on the fence with no one keeping them off, which is clearly labeled. The announcer didn't inform either. It's a safety issue. No one should be that close to the fence.

Downtown New Bern is home to The Pepsi Store, otherwise known as the Birthplace of Pepsi Cola. The…read morestore is located where, back in 1893, Caleb Bradham developed "Brad's Drink." Brad's Drink was created as a digestive aid containing pepsin and kola nuts. It was renamed Pepsi-Cola in 1898. Today, the Pepsi Store is a soda fountain, a museum and a gift shop. Caleb Bradham's original pharmacy was a wooden building that burned down before he died in the 1930s. A new brick building was constructed after the fire. The museum is in both the soda fountain side of the store and the gift shop section, too. You can read about the history and see the original fountain tools, Pepsi bottles, advertising, and antique collectibles. The walls and pillars have a lot of detailed signage. I didn't try anything at the Soda Fountain as I don't like Pepsi, but I kind of regret not getting a float. I think it would have been fun to sit at the fountain. But I was too busy reading about the history. Apparel was a big item in the gift shop; they had had socks, t-shirts, sweatshirts and even baby bibs. Tumblers, books, puzzles, stuffed toys, key chains, magnets, decals, signs and stationery (greeting cards and postcards). Restrooms were also available inside, which is a great convenience for those walking around downtown. I got to see Bradham's house on the New Bern Trolley tour, the Slover-Bradham House. It was built in 1848 and is a beautiful Greek Revival mansion. Whether you are a fan of the drink or just a fan of North Carolina history, this is a must-stop in New Bern. You can go back in time and see where Pepsi began.

The store has a great selection of Pepsi merchandise, collectibles, apparel, and gifts, and it's neat knowing you're visiting the birthplace of such an iconic brand in New Bern, North Carolina. It's a cool little stop for both locals and visitors, and definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

The collections and displays inside hold some of the artifacts that have brought New Bern to its place in history today - make sure to walk around the outside of the building when you are done, great views of the Neuse River from their patio. The gift shop is top notch with everything from candy to decorative dishware, many of the items are created by local NC artists. The front desk staff was helpful, fun, and full of facts about the area - she suggested a great place to eat - Morgan's Tavern & Grill (see my review) - as a place where the locals eat. Great suggestion - we were not disappointed. Please bring your children and grandchildren to learn about New Bern and its important place in America's history.

It was around 3pm and the place closes at 5pm. She didn't acknowledge us at all until I said good afternoon, she responded "yes". I said good afternoon how are you. She told us that you tour the place on your own and that was fine. My dad was wearing his Veteran hat and I told her that he was a WWII Veteran. She thanked him for his service and wasn't at all sincere in saying it. It seemed like she was obligated to say that. Then proceed to vacuum. It was so loud that we couldn't hear the "only " video playing. Worse tour ever. The planes are amazing!!!!
