If you love roses, rocks and history, this could be your new favorite place! The Raleigh Rose Garden was built 70 years ago on the oval footprint of the old State Fairgrounds. Before that, it served as a military camp during the First World War. A walk through the rose garden is like a romantic journey from the Renaissance - with cobblestones, vines next to hundreds of colorful roses. It is surrounded by an arboretum with various trees. You can find one of the rare redwoods of North Carolina.

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
