Things to Do in North Carolina - NC Attractions

Coronavirus Precautions

Governor Roy Cooper has announced additional restrictions will be eased under his most recent executive order, which will be in effect through April 30 at the earliest. Face masks are still required in public places.

If traveling, individuals are encouraged to check with local tourism organizations to determine if any limitations are in place (e.g., visitor center closures), and to contact lodging establishments directly for their most up-to-date information. Please use your best judgment if traveling, and practice good hygiene while avoiding close contact with others.

More information about local restaurant resources specific to North Carolina destinations can be found via their local tourism organization, which can be found here. Visit Count On Me NC to see a list of businesses – restaurants, lodging, attractions and others – that have completed the Count On Me NC training, as these businesses are making a concerted effort to help keep everyone safe and healthy. As a guest, you can take your own pledge, too, to show you're doing your part.
