<p>My family and I will probably be visiting Duke on april 8 and 9th (I was originally scheduled to visit 5-6, but changed my mind.) Are there any fun places to go near Durham after visiting Duke? If it matters, I have a little brother age 10.</p>
<p>What do you like to do? See the gardens on campus for sure. Go downtown to Brightleaf Square and have lunch at Parker & Otis. Or go get some good barbecue at Bullock’s. Like I say, it depends what counts as fun for your family. Nasher Museum of Art (on campus)? Durham Museum of Life and Science? Durham Bulls Stadium? Eno River State Park? Chapel Hill?</p>
<p>Are there any attractions such as a Disneyland or something like that perhaps unique in North Carolina? (We have a Disneyland in southern California, but just just to give you more of an idea.)</p>
<p>Not much to do in Durham, to be honest. Just your typical suburban-type area. Nothing like California where you come from. There are several good places to eat, and a good shopping mall. And some beautiful foliage. :)</p>
<p>I had lunch at the Mellow Mushroom-which was REALLY good, definitely go there. Brightleaf is also nice. I also did a Segway tour of Durham which was pretty cool. In addition, although kind of random my family and I went to Frank’s Fun Place or something like that which had go-karts, an arcade, batting cages etc because we didn’t know what else to do</p>
<p>Agree with Bullock’s. Go hungry.</p>
