1. North Carolina Zoo

Reviewed By Larry_English - McLeansville, North Carolina
We arrived at the zoo right at opening time. There are two distinct exhibit areas, one is the animals of North America and the other is the animals of Africa. There are separate parking lots for each section. Remember where you park it is a BIG lot.
Tickets are good for the day, you can leave and come back. Handicap access is available throughout. You cannot bring pets. There are plenty of bathrooms and food shops. They have a multi-car tram that goes back and forth between the African exhibits and the North American exhibits. The tram makes one stop midway between both exhibit areas.
The various exhibits are arranged in linear fashion so you can start at either end and walk from one exhibit to the other. It is a fair amount of walking so wear comfortable shoes. They do rent strollers, if you have a young one with you it is a wise investment. Our 3-1/2 year old loves to walk, but after a while he got tired and needed to be carried, which wore Mom & Dad out.
There are several very nice themed playground areas for the younger children... they get tired of looking at animals that they can’t ride (my grandson’s first request). Great exhibit, the map is colorful and very easy to follow. Sometimes you have to really look for the animals, other times they come right up to the viewing glass. For best results arrive early, they sleep a lot of the afternoon away.

Just off the expressway, this very well kept gallery offers pottery from many artists. A great selection of jewelry and fashion items as well. A map featuring the surrounding area is free and the people there will direct you with a smile if you are looking for a particular shop.
Coffee and tea are available with a nice sitting area.
Plenty of parking and great restrooms.
A must stop for sure!
3. Uwharrie National Forest

Now, if you are looking for a "Carowinds" type experience, please don't waste your time in the Uwharries; you'll be disappointed. If you're looking for bright lights and a wide variety of exotic eateries, you'd be better off to keep on traveling. But if you want to explore some of the South's oldest mountains, look around one of the earliest gold mining areas in the state, and enjoy some pretty scenery and winding dirt roads, then this might be the place for you. There are a variety of campgrounds, hiking trails, and horse back riding opportunities. There are also trails for ATV's, 4 wheel drive vehicles, and dirt bikes. Eldorado Outpost on NC 109 provides gear, info on the Forest, and decent food if you're hungry. It's where the 4X4 crowd congregates if you need to ask questions about the trails, and it even has a bit of info on Bigfoot, who has allegedly been spotted in the Uwharries. There were several gold mines within a few miles of the Outpost, and if you inquire there, they may be able to direct you to a residence on Coggins Mine Rd. where you can take a short and interesting tour of the ruins for $5. It's a beautiful area, especially in the Fall, and well worth the drive. So if you make it down to Eldorado, or Ophir, or any of the little communities scattered throughout the area, and happen to run across Bigfoot, tell him I said "hello". He saw me once, but nobody believed him..... Happy motoring!

Located in an old hosiery mill, which has been beautifully restored, this facility primarily specializes in world class glass works and has big openings (especially for their world class pumpkins and Christmas ornaments) every year. They also have glass blowing classes (we took one, excellent) and lease studio/equipment time. Their shop sells quality pottery and jewelry too, and the employees are very talented and most friendly. Check into this.

If you are in the general area, I recommend stopping at the Pisgah Covered Bridge as they are very rare.
There is a small parking area there and you can walk across the bridge. The walls of the bridge are covered in graffiti and that is a shame. But otherwise is in good shape and they did a great job preserving it.
There are picnic tables and a trail if you want a little more than a quick stop.
6. Four Saints Brewing Company
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 58 reviews
Four Saints Brewing Company began operations in May 2015 in Downtown Asheboro, NC. Four Saints focuses on Great Beer for Great People through award winning beers and supporting the local community in numerous ways. Andrew Deming and Joel McClosky, the owners and executives, met in 2008 and began working towards opening a brewery in 2011. A successful Kickstarter campaign and tremendous support from the City of Asheboro and community drove the renovation of a century old building into a modern seven barrel brewhouse and English/Irish pub inspired taproom.

Four Saints appears rather unassuming from the exterior, but you're welcomed with the deliciousness of malt aroma as you walk through the door. A family feel with kids scampering around during daylight hours gives way to an inviting laid back atmosphere as the sun sets. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable, offering samples of what's currently on tap. Snack style grub is available or you can order in from several local eateries often dealing a discount if you mention your at Saints. Definitely worth visiting!

The museum is upstairs in the Heritage Diner building and it is free to visit. You walk up the stairs and see lots of antique motorcycles mostly Harleys as well as all sorts of other interesting motorcycle related items. Downstairs in the parts area there are also things to see. If you are in the area and like motorcycles it is well worth a stop.

Enter the studio and you will be impressed with the beautiful pottery available for purchase. Many pieces beautifully etched. In addition to product for sale, Jeff offers private or small group instruction. I took a private 2-hour lesson today from Jeff. I have been throwing on the wheel for several years and needed the expertise of a professional to help me move to the next level. Jeff is that person. He was very patient as he explained his techniques so that I (an amateur) could understand. I can't wait to get home and start using the "how and why" information he shared with me. Thanks - Jeff
