Our first time to Duke University and the stadium for a football game. People were friendly and told us about a few things to see. We enjoyed the basketball Hall of Fame museum. Pretty place and nice signs placed on our way out of the game to help us find our parking area, in the dark

Duke University Chapel

Located on Duke University's West Campus, Duke Chapel is as magnificent in structure as it is rich in ministry. Construction of the Chapel was begun in October of 1930 and completed two years later. During that time students continually congregated at the stonemasons' huts to watch the Chapel take shape. It was first used for Commencement in 1932 and was formally dedicated on June 2, 1935.Duke Chapel continues to be a Christian church of uniquely interdenominational character and purpose. Through its tradition of inspiring worship and music, and a calling to walk with people of all faiths and circumstances, Duke Chapel acts a beacon of grace on campus and in the community. All are welcome to take part in worship, learning, dialogue, and service.

Awe-inspiring. Gothic style, a 210’ bell tower, ceilings at 73’, 3 pipe organs, 77 stained glass windows with the largest at 38’. This is no mere chapel. Admission is free and Sunday 11am services are open to all — a great way to hear the 6,900 pipes in the largest organ. Designed by Julian Abele, a noted African-American architect, the chapel was dedicated in 1935.

Bull City Escape

Bull City Escape is an exhilarating, interactive experience designed to test your wits. The premise is simple: small groups are locked in a room and have 60 minutes to escape. To find the key, you must work together to unearth clues, solve puzzles, and crack codes. Book a room with your friends, family, or co-workers – and see if you have what it takes to escape!

This is the second time I have been to Bull City Escape, and it was just as fabulous as the first. I have completed both the Enchanted Kingdom and the Murder Mystery escape rooms and they were both highly interactive, engaging, and FUN. Not only do the rooms reflect a passion for the stories, but the staff are interactive and informative. Luckily the team I was part of escaped both times, but even if we hadn't the experience would still have been great. I highly recommend Bull City Escape as a go-to Durham destination.
