Whaddup fam recently moved up to NC, want to take a friend whos new to hockey to a Canes game. What's the parking like out there, also any thoughts on what we can do around the city to make an afternoon of it? Never been to Raleigh.
Whelp. Typed up a detailed response but accidentally hit back on my browser.
Parking is $20 at the arena. There is a sports bar and grill across the road from the arena that charge I think $15, Backyard Bistro. Solid food for what it is, not a bad place to get dinner or drinks before a game. Also it's easier to leave from there than it is to get out of the crowded arena parking lots.
Things to do: Depends on what you're into but, NC Museum of Natural Sciences and NC Museum of Art. There are plenty of escape rooms. There are a few state parks that are nice to explore. Crabtree or Southpoint would be the local malls. There's a Dave and Busters 10-15 minutes from the arena. The Raleigh Beer Garden is fun if either of you are beer drinkers.
