North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences - Raleigh

11 W Jones St, Raleigh, NC 27601· $· 10am–5pm

Steve’s take

Free admission. Dinosaur skeletons, live animals, a whale skeleton hanging from the ceiling, and enough interactive exhibits to keep every age group busy for two hours. Raleigh's natural sciences museum is one of the best free museums in the Southeast and it's right off I-40. If you're taking the I-40 route through North Carolina instead of I-95, this is your big-stop option. Free beats everything on a road trip budget.
