Wake Forest

A hot dog at Shorty's and a visit to the Olde English Tea Room and Gift Shoppe are absolute musts. Shop at the Cotton Company and Bimulous Beads and Dancing Trees where you make your own jewelry. Stroll through other shops and art galleries dotting the historic downtown commercial district. Visit the Wake Forest College Birthplace Museum and the campus of Southeastern Baptist Seminary (which was the Wake Forest College campus before the school moved to Winston-Salem in the fifties). For the sports enthusiast, The Factory offers ice rinks, indoor batting cages, an arcade, a skate park, indoor soccer and go-carts - while three top rated golf clubs offer the best in play any time of the year.

Where it is: Located approximately 30 minutes north of downtown Raleigh.
