    Since tours are only offered to groups with reservations, your best bet is to pick up a self-guided tour sheet at the front of the chapel. They're free, and you can take your time looking around.

  3. 3 3.5 Star Rating: Average Jordan Lake State Recreation Area

    280 State Park Rd, Apex, NC 27523 (map)

    Bald eagle-watching is incredible here--catch a peek at the NC 751 bridge crossing Northeast Creek or the NC Wildlife Resources Commission's Wildlife Observation Deck (five miles south of I-40 on NC 751, 6.5 miles north of US 64).

  4. 4 4.5 Star Rating: Recommended Durham Bulls Baseball Club

    Save your unused tickets. If you've got season tickets (or often any tickets at all) for a game that either got rained out or that you couldn't make, you can exchange them for field seats at a Sunday game or another game that isn't sold out.
