Quirky, but laid back.

We loved the laid back feel of this day trip. We love all the options offered for all 4 stops, the only one that wasnt totally for us was the 4th stop. This wasnt your fault. We just couldnt decide which to do. We are definitely wanting to do another trip in the future.

Very cool destinations! We didn't get to finish the last destination (3 choices) because it was 95 deg out but now we have 3 places to visit on a cooler day.. 😁

This was an awesome trip with the exception of second stop. The first option of "critter man" should be updated, there was literally less than 5 critters that were falling apart and heavily aged-definitely not a photo worthy stop.
Other than that, my daughter and I visited 2 locations from each envelope and plan to do another road trip to the third options soon.
Love this idea and plan to order more!

Day Trip with a young family.

This was everything we as a family of 4 needed and wanted! The activities/stops allowed for a balance between the kids exploring and have wonderful experiences and the adults enjoying it just as much. We were able to leave Raleigh in the morning and come home by mid afternoon. 100% recommend.

Great to escape

I bought the other Raleigh trip on a whim, and couldn't believe how great it was. When I got an email about a new trip in the are,a I immediately purchased! We received it quickly and it looked just as promising as the first. Took it this past weekend with some new neighbors and they were thrilled. Safe to say Guess Where has some new fans in NC!
