The Downtown Raleigh Historic Walking Tour is a guided outdoor educational walk through the heart of the city led by local historian Andrew Nason. Over the course of the tour, you will learn about the folklore, culture, and historical milestones that shaped the capital city from its early days into the modern hub it is today. If you plan to go, expect to spend fifteen dollars per person. Because of the walking distance and historical focus, this activity is best suited for teenagers and adults rather than toddlers. Be sure to wear comfortable athletic shoes and bring water bottles for everyone in your group. This is a smart weekend pick because it combines light exercise with local education. It gives your family a deeper appreciation for the streets you walk every day, all before sitting down for an early dinner downtown.
