| Parent-Child Road trip... North Carolina activities... Posted: 7/17/2009 5:41:58 AM | Hello. We're doing our first long-distance road trip. My daughter is 9 - we're going on a gem-hunting adventure. That'll be 1 day of 4. Wondering what else is there in the area that's fun to do and not too commercial. I don't like the Disney kind of thing. Anyone in the area ( North or South Carolina) have suggestions? Anyone have experience finding fun that isn't overly commercialized? Information sources, experiences...? Thanks.
ps, We prefer nature-stuff. Answers need ASAP! 4 days and counting. Kid friendly activities only... | |

There are spots on the outer banks were there are hardly any other people on the beach, but you can find spots with lots of people too. My kids loved it there. Camping or hotels. | |

There are two dinner theaters my kids absolutely adored; Mideval Times, and Dixie Stampede. We would alternate, one year we'd go to one, the next the other. Both involve an indoor riding arena. Mideval Times has jousting and knights, Dixie Stampede has a rodeo of sorts. The food is always good, and as I said, both are huge hits ith my kids. | |
