If you haven't been to Pullen Park, you haven't been to Raleigh. With the oldest carousel in the state still in operation, the park is a great stop for the kids, and adults as well. Walk through the green grounds, have a picnic under ancient massive oak trees, let the kids play on real train cars, or spend a couple of dollars to ride the antique carousel. Whatever you choose to do at Pullen Park is a winner. Kids love it! If you want to have a family picnic on the grounds, just be sure to reserve a spot well in advance. Shelters go pretty fast, especially in the summer months. The carousel is soon to undergo extensive restoration, so check to be sure it's operating by calling the park ahead of time. Enjoy!
