Dollywood is awesome there is no side stepping that! There are many shows to see, tons of rides to ride (Blazing Fury and Dardevil Falls are two of the best!), awesome food, and wonderful crafts. Definitely stop by the "county fair" section and be sure to try one of the to die for milk shakes! The kids will enjoy it just as much as the parents. Your general admission takes care of all the rides. We have been going to Dollywood for as long as can remember and it is a tradition that I will carry on with my children one which I hope they carry on to theirs! We have made tons of great memories and look forward to many more!

We go to the Crystal Coast for vacation every year. We have only been to the Lost Treasure golf and raceway once however. We were pretty disappointed in that visit. 65% of the arcade games didn't work and the prices were outrageous. This probably has something to do with the fact that this is pretty much the only attraction of it's type in the area since they removed the pavilion from Atlantic Beach. Sad to say but we will not be wasting our money at this establishment anytime soon.

We love the aquariums! We bought a family membership for the year and the cost was only a few dollars more than regular admission. This membership allows my family free admission to all of the aquariums located in NC as well as the NC zoo for one year!! The aquarium in Pine Knolls Shore has a sand castle display every summer during July, when they have the sand castle festival. Those are amazing enough on their own to warrant a trip! Eveyr aquarium has something to offer and no matter which one you visit you will enjoy the trip!

Called me biased but nothing compares to the sight of North Carolina light houses. Whenever you visit one of these magical structures it is like being transported back in time when things were much more simple. They are beautiful and this one is no exception. We are planning a trip for our next summer vacation to visit all of the light houses in one trip.

We love the state fair and there is certainly something for everyone!!!! Whether you enjoy trying all of the fair foods like fried twinkies, fried oreos, kripsy kreme burgers, and even koolickles; riding rides; or checking out the agriculture and animal exhibits you will definitely have fun. Be prepared to stay the whole day and even be ready to make a second trip before the fair leaves town; yes it is just that fun!!!! The kids love it and we parents love it!!!!
