We love the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, and the new wing! I take my 7th grader almost every track out - and he is no straight A kid or diligent student, but he really likes it. We easily spend 4-5 hours there each time. Love. It.

We really like the outdoor drama in Snow Camp (it might not be exactly a part of the "Triangle," but it is only a short drive away). Each summer they present two historical dramas, two children's plays, and one musical. They are always great shows, and the prices are very reasonable (only $5 for the children's shows). There is also a restaurant on site where you can have lunch or dinner with the characters before each children's show (must pre-register for that). My kids love it!
