When you arrive, there are marked parking spots and I saw the large baseball with the NC Baseball Museum sign so just entered the gate and made my way in that direction. It is on the left side of the field. The museum is staffed by volunteers. I was welcomed when I arrived and given an overview of the museum. Then before I left, I got my questions answered and was show the new museum piece from Josh Hamilton. He even looked up all that played on the Mets for me as I was curious. So I appreciated that a lot. The museum was much larger than I expected as there are two large rooms. I didn't give myself enough time to view the museum as I arrived near closing time. I had been planning to visit the following day but the museum page and online sites had differing hours so I decided the website was likely the better source. So that just means a return trip is in order especially knowing what a gem this museum is. The first room is of those from North Carolina that played in the major leagues and the other room has college baseball and others that played in the MLB. I loved the history here and seeing the artifacts and reading about the players. I highly recommend this museum if you are a baseball fan.

The stadium is fantastic. Beautiful, clean, not a bad seat in the house. The staff are friendly, helpful, and extremely professional. Parking is absolutely ZERO problem. There are several lots at or near the stadium, and attendants in golf carts regularly come around to all locations if you need a ride to the stadium from your parking spot. My wife and I are sad the season is ending and already looking forward to 2027.

Looking forward to experiencing live sports and community events at Wilson's brand new ballpark!read more

Most recently Java gave birth to adorable chocolate lab puppies. Elsa, an 11-month old white lab from Gwen and Gus' recent litter was also there with her father. Megan and Jeff own the farm and give farm tours after yoga to see the chickens and goats. Yoga is run by Victory Power Yoga. All classes are outside so dress accordingly. They provide yoga mats. I recommend bringing a towel. If you bring a water bottle or purse they have tables set up to place your items. I did not realize it at first and set my things next to the mat. The puppies loved to play with my purse and water bottle. They have an indoor bathroom and shop (Puptique). The yoga class was excellent. Appropriate for all ages and skill levels. The class was run well even with all the distracting puppies running around. Surprisingly I was still able to relax and stretch while playing with the dogs. Ample time was available before and after to play and take pictures. Parking is available on the lawn out front. There was ample spaces and room to pull in and out (plus a turn around area if needed). Overall, we had a lovely morning here. I highly recommend checking them out!

There are parking lots on both sides of the building, as well as some spots in front. The Mims Gallery has some great exhibits that I haven't seen anywhere else. This visit, I got to see the Charles Schulz exhibit. Admission was $5, and you got to learn about the artist and the Peanuts characters. A Bob Ross exhibit was also here with his artwork. The lobby has a player piano that is a delight to listen to. Performances are held at the center throughout the year.

They check you in, and you are free to wander the exhibit and can even touch the paintings! They naturally have the Bob Ross channel playing continuously, and there are a few benches so you could sit to watch. There are people walking in front of you the whole time, but it's still always amazing to see him painting. Tickets are completely reasonable, so if you have a chance, check it out! Ross's happy little trees will make you smile

To visit the Site and Visitors' Center is free of charge. The Center has rest rooms, a chronological display of exhibits from Governor Aycock's boyhood and political and law careers. His greatest accomplishment was his agenda for universal (free public) education for all--African Americans and Whites, despite having run on a platform of white supremacy. A new school house was built in NC for every day he was in office! There is also a dated film available for free viewing on demand in the visitors center. Outside visitors can enjoy a picnic shelter, looking into building windows, visiting with sheep and chickens, and touring the cemetery. We will return when a special event is taking place to see volunteers reenacting life on the farm.

I had no idea what to expect when I arrived at a long dirt driveway. But when I arrived there was a museum inside and quite impressive. A video was offered with an introduction about Governor Aycock. I had no idea who he was or what he accomplished. The exhibits were great and more than I expected. Governor Aycock valued public education and opened over 4000 schools in the state one for everyday he was in office including Sundays. White Supremacy is sugar coated and I do hope that more is done to address the ugly history of the state. I did not get an opportunity to explore the buildings outside but will be returning to check out the one room schoolhouse, barn and stables. On my return I will be better educated on Governor Aycock.

Bathrooms have a place where you can wash your hands. They also concession stands that have great food. They also had no lines every time I wanted something to drink and eat. Race track view: all seats are good seats from what I see. But, I would recommend sitting up as high as possible to get an even better view. I could see the race cars driving around the whole race track. I met a friend beside me while here. I said he was a regular and used to have a race team and come to this race track in his younger days. He mentioned a few drivers that were racing today that used to drive for him. Prices for admission was very reasonable. They were charging $15 to get in. They also have senior citizens discount where it was only $12 for admission. In summary, I had a great time. I will definitely come back to this race track soon. Everyone was nice and friendly.

The Vollis Simpson Whirligig Park has opened the Vollis Simpson Whirligig Museum since my last…read morevisit. The museum is across from the park on Goldsboro St and admission is free. The museum and gift shop are together in the suite so it isn't a large museum but there is a lot to look at and read as well as a tv to watch the magic at work. The museum is where you can learn more about Vollis Simpson and his work. The large hands are impressive to see featured as he made beautiful works of art with scrap metal. He was a machinist by trade and artist in retirement. In WWII he built a windmill to power a washing machine to clean the clothing of soldiers. He took ordinary objects and made something amazing with it. His mechanical creations that move in the wind started out on his farm then later moved to the park when he could no longer take care of them properly. Smaller whilrligigs can be seen up close in the front window but remember not to touch them although it is tempting. After visiting the museum, be sure to go in the park to see the fifty foot creations. There are several restaurants to choose from within walking distance of the museum too. I highly recommend visiting so that you can learn more about this remarkable man.
