While we experienced a mild Winter, Spring has arrived in New Bern. Things are warming up and turning green. Folks are thinking of outdoor activities, the water and the nearby beaches.
One of the nice things about New Bern is the location of the city and the ability to "daytrip" to some very interesting places and return in the same day.
High on the list of things to do would be a trip to the nearby Crystal Coast beaches. While there be sure to check out the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knolls Shores.
The aquarium saw extensive renovations that tripled its size and cost around 25 million dollars. It reopened in May of 2006 and has seen over 1 million visitors since then.
This is simply a fun place for all ages and is a good place to go if it's too hot or the beach gets rained out.
Be sure to check out the "new" N.C. Aquarium at Pine Knolls Shores, on Bogue Banks. It is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Admission is $8 for adults, $6 for ages 6-17 and $7 for ages 62 and up.
