Top Attractions for…
Nature Lovers
Don’t just stop and smell the roses—immerse yourself in them at the Greensboro Arboretum! This 17-acre botanical wonderland is home to various gorgeously landscaped gardens, each one bursting with vibrant blooms and meandering walking trails. It’s the perfect place to take a leisurely stroll and reconnect with Mother Nature. While you’re getting in touch with Greensboro’s greener side, swing by the Greensboro Science Center’s OmniSphere Theater to catch a mind-blowing show about our planet on a massive IMAX Dome screen.
History Buffs
They don’t call it the Gate City for nothing—Greensboro was a major player during the American Revolutionary War. Experience this pivotal era by visiting the Guilford Courthouse National Military Park, where the biggest battle of the Revolutionary War’s Southern Campaign took place. Sign up for a guided tour to walk in the very footsteps of the brave soldiers who fought for America’s independence. After soaking in the history, take your group to tour Blandwood Mansion, a prime example of early 19th century architectural design.
Art Aficionados
From classic to contemporary, Greensboro’s creative spirit shines through vibrant galleries and pop-up art shows. The Weatherspoon Art Museum on the UNCG campus displays a thought-provoking collection of modern and contemporary works. Meanwhile, the GreenHill center celebrates art in all its forms through exhibitions, classes, and an array of rotating shows. Be sure to check their calendar for unique visiting collections during your stay.
Foodies
They say the best way to know a city is through your taste buds, and boy does Greensboro deliver! This is quintessential Carolina barbecue country, with local favorites like Stamey’s, Prissy Polly’s, and Jake’s bringing that heavenly smoked meat flavor. Dig into North Carolina’s roots by sampling classic dishes at foodie hotspots like VIDA Mexican Kitchen y Cantina and 1618 Seafood Grille. And don’t leave without grabbing a scoop (or three) from the iconic Yum Yum Better Ice Cream & Hot Dogs.
Sports Fanatics
Greensboro isn’t just a hub for sports fans—it’s a mecca. The city’s Coliseum Complex frequently hosts major sporting events like ACC Tournaments and NCAA championship games. Even when there’s no tournament in town, you can still cheer on the hometown UNCG Spartans basketball squads or catch a Greensboro Grasshoppers minor league baseball game. For the full sports pilgrimage, tour hallowed grounds like the International Civil Rights Center & Museum, which honors the famous Woolworth sit-ins of 1960.
Families & Kids
Young’uns (and the young at heart) will go gaga over Greensboro’s many family-friendly attractions. The Greensboro Science Center is a guaranteed kid-pleaser with its hands-on exhibits, aquarium, and a separate museum just for children. Burn off some energy at Rockin’ Jump Trampoline Park, then let their imaginations run wild at the Greensboro Children’s Museum. Got a little daredevil on your hands? Take them for some adrenaline-pumping fun at the All-A-Flutter Butterfly Farm!
How to Get Around Greensboro
Public Transportation
While Greensboro has a decent public bus system operated by GTA, the routes and schedules can be limiting for visitors trying to hit all the top sites in a short timeframe. The buses run 7 days a week but have varying hours and frequencies depending on the line. Unless your Greensboro bucket list is relatively small, you may find the public transit options too restricted for an enjoyable, stress-free experience.
Taxis and Rideshares
Taxis and rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are readily available throughout Greensboro. These can be convenient options for solo travelers or smaller groups looking to bar hop or enjoy a night out on the town. However, prices can quickly add up if you’re relying on rideshares to get your larger group from place to place. You’ll also have to deal with the hassle of splitting up your party across multiple cars.
