Raleigh is the capital city of North Carolina and it is 45.5 km (28.3 mi) from Chapel Hill. A 40-minute drive will get you between the two destinations. For museum lovers, we recommend trips to Marbles Kids Museum, North Carolina Museum of Art, and North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. When the weather is good for a walk outdoors, visit Pullen Park, JC Raulston Arboretum, and William B. Umstead State Park. Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut is also a great place to chill if you adore live music outdoors! Before you plan the places to visit, you will need a place to call home.
