How to Spend 24 Hours in Raleigh, North Carolina (Updated 2025)

"When I suggest a morning museum visit I point people to the Museum of Natural Sciences — North Carolina’s most visited museum — where over four floors you can explore live animals, walk-through dioramas, microbes, meteorites, 3D movies, and a terrific permanent collection of dinosaur and whale skeletons." - Matthew Kepnes
