Information for Children
Both Durham and Chapel Hill are very family friendly places with many activities for children and families. The local newspapers will list activities happening in the area each day. Local newspapers include the Durham Herald Sun, the Raleigh News & Observer, and the Independent.
For those of you coming with school aged children, please refer to our handouts Getting your Child into the Durham Public Schools and Getting your Child into the Chapel Hill Public Schools.
For those of you coming with preschoolers (i.e. babies and toddlers), please refer to our handout Finding ChildCare.
We have also put together a fun handout titled Family Things to Do.
