  • What to expect in DURHAM, NC // Things to Do in Durham North Carolina
    Durham is known as "the bull city" and is an underrated town in North Carolina. It's probably best known for Duke University, but there's a lot more to love about this city. DON'T CLICK THIS: bit.ly/3kMzZDs

    Durham, NC is part of the Research Triangle Region, known for its technology companies and scholarly institutions, so it's really up and coming. If you find yourself along any part of the Research Triangle, make a quick stop in Durham. Along with amazing attractions like The Museum of Life and Science, The American Tobacco Museum, and the campus of Duke University, the food scene here is celebrated as well. (We'll get to that in the next video).
    If you have an afternoon, or even just a few hours, you can see a lot in Durham. We loved the fact that pretty much everything was walking distance or biking distance in downtown Durham.
    The Museum of Life + Science has hands-on exhibits, a butterfly house and wildlife habitats for bears wolves, farm animals and lemurs. There's 84 acres of exhibits and wildlife habitats to see. This is a great first stop if you have kids, and even if you don't! www.lifeandscience.org
    The American Tobacco Campus was established in 1890 and encompasses 14 contributing buildings and three contributing structures built by the American Tobacco Company and its predecessors and successors from 1874 to the 1950s. Inside the campus you can find the headquarters for Burt's Bees, The Durham Bulls Athletic Park, and the Durham Performing Arts Center along with tons of shops and restaurants to explore. americantobacco.co
    The Duke University campus is pretty big, but two of the most notable sights on the campus (besides the athletic facilities) is the Duke University Chapel and the Sarah P. Duke Gardens. The gardens attract more than 600,000 visitors from all over the world annually, and is 55 acres of specialized gardens in the heart of Duke University. Admission is free, and it's open from 8 a.m. to dusk 365 days a year. gardens.duke.edu

      Thanks I watch a lot of jordi koalitic's camera hack videos and see what I can recreate. No matter what happens with our channel I'm glad we started it because it's helped us both not be so introverted and pushed us to get out and see the world. (Well the US, but one day the world)

    Great intro with the bicycle! That was a big hill to bike up! Also stellar shots, especially with the drone pans! For viewers doing more than a quick stop over, the American tobacco campus lights up nicely for night events! The performing arts in Durham are great too.

    I miss Silver Spring, Maryland Durham is boring as hell. Being able to go to DC or Baltimore within 40 mins each was amazing. Another 1.5 years. Duke basketball tickets are more expensive than Knicks tickets. Although I am originally from NY Maryland felt like home. North Carolina is basically a large Staten Island.
