Don’t let the weather dictate your mood. There’s plenty to do in the Twin City to escape the outdoors. Without any further ado, let’s take a ride through some unique activities to explore in Winston-Salem.

  • Catch the latest exhibits at the Timothy S. Y. Lam Museum of Anthropology on Wake Forest University Campus or the Delta Art Center, and expand your knowledge on global cultures, some with ties to our region.
  • Let your inner child run free at Kaleideum and visit stars and planets in the digital dome, or take a look at becoming an engineer at the Try It! studio.
  • Leave your problems at home and wander into space at CTRL Virtual Reality Arcade. Warning: You may be there for hours.
  • Consider picking up a book by a local author and venturing off to the Hanes House at NCMA, Winston-Salem, for a cozy and chill atmosphere. Try This: Take a walk by the scenic terrace for some fresh air.
