CLASSIC FUN FOR KIDS! PULLEN PARK RALEIGH

Pullen Park opened way back in 1887 and was designated the first public park in North Carolina, and it’s the fifth oldest operating amusement park in the United States, and the 16th oldest in the world – pretty cool, huh.

Pullen Park has since become an important component of Raleigh life, providing citizens with a variety of recreational opportunities. This is classic Raleigh right here!

WHERE IS PULLEN PARK?

Close to downtown Raleigh, the park sits on 66 acres of land just west of downtown, between Western Blvd. and Hillsborough Street, and adjacent to North Carolina State University.

Pullen Park Raleigh is free to enter, they only charge a small fee to ride the carousel, train and kiddie boats.

HOW MUCH DOES PULLEN PARK COST?

Pedal Boats

Getting out on Lake Howell (the lake within Pullen Park) on a pedal boat is classic family fun! It’s a bit of a workout on the legs, but a fun way to spend 30-minutes with your kids and get a new perspective of the park.

There are various playgrounds and equipment for kids to play on for differing ages and abilities.

PULLEN PARK CAFE
