Exhibits cover everything from the country’s governing institutions to ancient manuscripts, and an evening light show on the palace façade wraps up the visit.

The Theodore Roosevelt Natural Area is a 265-acre maritime forest, one of the few left on North Carolina’s coast. Donated in 1971 by Theodore Roosevelt’s grandchildren, it honors the 26th President’s conservation legacy. Two interpretive trails start near the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores, offering an easy way to explore this preserved coastal habitat. The shorter trail loops through salt marshes and leads to a viewing blind at East Pond, while the longer trail winds over dune ridges with views of Bogue Sound. Open year-round with free admission, it’s a peaceful spot for hiking, birdwatching, or a quiet retreat into nature.
