51. Rdu Observation Park
City: Raleigh, NC
Category: Tours & Attractions
Description: Sometimes all your little guy—or maybe your big guy—wants to do is watch powerful machines in motion. At RDU International, they’ve set aside an elevated observation deck just for them. It overlooks RDU’s longest runway, and gives you the full sonic and visual experience of watching plane after plane take off into the sky. You can listen to the conversations between the pilots and the air traffic controllers in the tower nearby. You can bring a picnic and eat at one of the tables near the playground or buy lunch at the Crosswinds Cafe. The park is near the general aviation terminal. No security check is required for entry.
