Port Discover

Nothing keeps kids busy in the Elizabeth City region like Port Discover, where STEM topics take center stage in the hands of children. Bring the family by and watch as minds open and bloom as the science center’s remarkable staff share topics ranging from agriculture to 3D printing. These aren’t the same subjects we adults studied in school, but far-reaching and technical lessons that pique new interest.

Museum of the Albemarle

A branch of the North Carolina Museum of History, the Museum of the Albemarle sits nearby Roanoke Island, where the first settlers landed in North America. Exhibits here include artifacts and artwork dating back hundreds of years that illustrate early life in the region where the earliest American civilization took root. The Museum’s mission seeks to preserve these important pieces of history, and provide a gallery for travelers and residents to look deep into the past.

Hollowell Wetlands Trail

Nowhere in Elizabeth City can one experience the depth of seaside nature like the Hollowell Wetlands Trail, where bird watchers, students, and everyday residents gather to stare over the water, jog, and meditate. A number of gazebos dot the length of this half-mile long boardwalk, as uprooted trees, vines, and other flora provide the platform for an important ecosystem that leaves one feeling peaceful and in harmony with the outdoors. If you need a minute to stop and gather your thoughts, visit this portion of the North Carolina Birding & Fitness Trail – you may not have a chance to experience anything like it between the two coasts.

Mariners’ Wharf

The Pasquotank River is a unique inlet of water connecting the Atlantic Ocean to the Albermarle Sound, a truly breathtaking site to see for those in love with the Coast. And Mariners’ Wharf, providing a public dock for boaters near and far, does the best job of showing visitors just how lively the coastal region can be. Stop down and see why residents of the Albemarle Region tend to take off their shoes and grow deep roots in the area.

Dismal Swamp State Park

Don’t let the, ahem, sad name fool you: Dismal Swamp is anything but. Mountain biking, hiking, and kayaking are favorites for Elizabeth City visitors in one of North Carolina’s most unique state parks that provides miles of trails and waterfront. Plan your trip at the park’s visitor center where a number of exhibits and friendly staff can help guide you through the famed Swamp’s many attractions.
