A holiday in North Carolina is mainly an outdoor affair in the coastal area, but the state's big cities feature many renowned museums that attract tourists with a thirst for knowledge. One of the top-rated museums in North Carolina is Wright Brothers National Memorial, where you can pay tribute to pioneers in airplane travel and see a full-size replica of the first aircraft. Museum of the Cherokee Indian allows visitors to follow the Cherokee from the Paleolithic period to the modern day. Museum of Natural Sciences offers a great family experience with its hands-on activities and floor-to-ceiling glass research labs with working scientists.
