About this adventure

The North Carolina Museum of Art (NCMA) boasts one of the largest outdoor sculpture parks among art museums in the U.S., spanning 164 acres. This weekend, with pleasant early winter weather, families can stroll with strollers or ride balance bikes on the gentle, wide paths with their children. They can wander among Thomas Sayre's giant earthen arch "Gyre," sparkling metal reflective installations, and large windmill sculptures, enjoying the blend of nature and modern art. The indoor East and West buildings of the museum are also open for free, featuring classic and contemporary painting exhibitions, and offer self-guided scavenger hunt cards for children. All circular paths throughout the park are smoothly paved, allowing unimpeded stroller access. The Welcome Center and inside the museum buildings are equipped with spacious accessible restrooms and changing tables, as well as a calming room for mothers and infants. Suitable for children ages 1 to 16 and their families.
