It is the perfect place for a picnic or a photo shoot. Forest of Raleigh
Hidden in the heart of Raleigh's nature reserve is a magical little trail that leads to a true forest.
A small handmade fairy house emerges from the wood and wood. They hang on the branches of trees and fly in the air. Families can come and explore the forest - and even create their own house to add to the forest themselves. The Annie Louise Wilkerson MD Nature Preserve spans acres of sprawling, lush greenery and nature trails in the woods. There is even a large rock formation to climb and explore.

Every year the flowers grow - and in the summer, they sprout a large field of sunflowers. Pullen Park
Pullen Park has been one of Raleigh's favorite water sports for over 130 years. It is one of the oldest parks in the world.
The carved bridges, flowering trees and gazebos make for a beautiful walk. Plus, you can visit Andy and Opie before the ride.
The park offers a "build your own picnic" area to order sandwiches, ice cream and drinks - located near the grassy picnic area. WRAL Azalea Garden
Planted in 1959, the WRAL azalea garden started with 1,000 flowers. The marriage began there. A memorial was left there.
A. J. Fletcher, founder of Capitol Broadcasting and WRAL-TV, created the garden as "a way to honor beauty for beauty's sake."While enjoying the sights of the water, don't forget the fun. Whether you want to see or buy flowers, state farmers markets are the perfect place for an early morning stroll in the spring.
North Carolina bounty abounds here: corn on the farm, sweet peaches and watermelons. North Carolina Museum of Art
Pet-friendly, picnic-friendly, and one of the most Instagrammable spots in Raleigh, the NC Museum of Art has extensive grounds and walking trails. The museum grounds are decorated with large statues. A large rock piled up and slept in the grass. A huge door to another reality stands in the distance. There is even information written on the ground that can only be seen from a distance, from airplanes or satellites. At the end of the road is the "hobbit" house, which proved to be one of the most interesting sights in North Carolina. Another path has a wooden bridge and weeping willows. You could spend all afternoon walking around here and not see everything - and that doesn't even include all the exhibits inside the building!JC Raulston Arboretum
If you love flowers, zen gardens, hidden waterfalls and butterflies, then the spectacular JC Raulston Arboretum is perfect for a spring trip.
A beautiful butterfly garden attracts butterflies and moths. Shaded spaces and hidden paths lead to a large Zen garden, decorated with grassy sand.
Opened in 1975 by JC Raulston, who taught in the Department of Horticultural Sciences at NC State University, it served as a "living laboratory" for students - and a wonderful resource for the public.Forest Trees and the Raleigh Greenway
