Very interesting place to visit, showcasing all manner of instruments from the fifteen-hundreds and onwards that people used to advance their knowledge of our planet and its inhabitants, and to develop many fields of science.

If you’re interested at all in biology, astronomy, math, chemistry or other sciences, this is definitely a great visit. You can see everything in about an hour if you wanted, but easily spend a half or full day if you want to take everything in with all the detail available.

Among the more impressive Capitol buildings, with its majestic dome topped with golden statue. The stained glass windows in the back are beautiful, too

Beautiful modern store with a large assortment of fresh and dry groceries, and a lot of fun food options, including many freshly prepared meals (e.g. a taqueria, sushi chef, and a beer garden with a choice of 30+ beers on tap!).

The staff was very friendly and helped/explained where things were and were clearly very proud of their store.

Very nice hiking trail, meandering through the dunes and circling around the eastern most mile and a half of Fort Macon Rd. There’s mulch and gravel on the other, which makes walking much more comfortable than directly on the dune sand.

There is quite a bit of variance in elevation: no steep or long climbs, but the path does dip and climb continuously. More than half of the path is uncovered, so there’s not too much shelter from the sun.

This neighborhood is certainly worth a stroll for the many gorgeous murals that can be found within just a few blocks! In addition, it’s just a very friendly and inviting neighborhood as well.
