Our group of 12 had a blast. Informative tour that revealed distilling processes, history of rum in the world and locally, and great rum!

What happened? An entire city just vanished...all of the buildings...all of the people just disappeared. Well yes and no. It was more of a wild west town except it was in eastern N.C. Life there was difficult to say the least. The people made a living in the logging industry and making moonshine. Step back in time and discover what was once Dare County's largest town, Buffalo City.

Enjoy candies from the 40s to today's hottest candy. We have a wonderful selection of Bulk Candy, Nostalgic Candy and icream as well as locally made sweets. Stop by today and take a walk down memory lane.
I was on a business trip for work to the outerbanks and I meant to stop in Duck for some treats for my little ones on my way home, and completely forgot to. Luckily the Laughing Lollipop in Manteo saved the day. They had a lot of yummy local popcorn that's actually made in Duck (the same stuff I was hoping to get), which my kids loved, along with some gator chomp lollipops that the staff member suggested, and those were a big hit with my kids. Thanks a bunch Laughing Lollipop!

"Nothing says entertainment more than hurling axes. Axe throwing is perfect for family, friends, team building, celebrating special occasions and meeting new people. Release your inner lumberjack and try your hand at slinging axes. Guests will be coached on proper technique and set up to throw. Ages 10+ can participate! Nothing says fun like flying axes! We specialize in hosting group events and can bring you from someone with no prior axe throwing experience up to a bullseye slinging axe throwing machine! You will not believe how much fun and how empowering it is to land your first BULLSEYE! Any group looking for a unique way to spend a few hours together, check out axe throwing."

Your information center for sightseeing, attractions, accommodations and dining.
Very friendly staff to help in any way. Restrooms are extremely clean. For history buffs, walk 50 feet to an adjacent cemetery that is simply BEAUTIFUL and respectful.

The North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island was originally founded in 1976 as the North Carolina Marine Resources Center, along with our sister facilities at Pine Knoll Shores and Fort Fisher. In 1986, the three facilities were renamed Aquariums, and we were joined by Jennette’s Pier in Nags Head in 2011. The state of North Carolina owns the Aquariums and Pier, which are administered by the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (NCDNCR). Located on the Outer Banks, three miles north of Manteo on Roanoke Island, the Aquarium is an educational attraction focused on “inspiring appreciation and conservation of our aquatic environments.” The Aquarium is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA).
We’ve been going to the beach for days and decided we needed an indoor activity something that we could bring our granddaughter with to. The aquarium was wonderful and all of us loved it, especially our granddaughter (18 months)!! It was bigger than I thought it would be and our granddaughter loved the shark exhibit (baby shark song) and the jellyfish. We totally loved the sea turtle rescue center, and enjoyed seeing the sea turtles on the mend (we loved that part of our admission fee helped them) The hands on tank was so much fun for all ages!!!

Located on the beautiful Outer Banks of North Carolina, Dare County Arts Council is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization encouraging the arts through advocacy, enrichment and opportunity. Located on the first floor of the historic Dare County Courthouse in downtown Manteo, Dare County Arts Council operates a gallery for emerging and established artists, providing a constantly rotating exhibit of local art. We feature paintings, pottery, works in printmaking, jewelry, wood design, fiber art, and glass, as well as a fine selection of prints.
We had a lovely visit at the Dare County Arts Council. Rooms are filled & hallways are lined, with paintings, photography, jewelry and other artisan wares that were stunning. Beautiful place to visit and purchase that special gift for yourself and/or others. Located right on the main street (Queen Elizabeth) in beautiful downtown Manteo.

This is a new and modern structure with interesting exhibits including a cockpit of a small plane where you sit and view a screen with short aerial tours of the refuges. Best of all is the information provided for successful visits. A ranger gave us the scoop on where to have the best chances to see wildlife and to find the roads.

The store has lots of ornament options plus many "beach" themed items also. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend!

The only trampoline park on the Outer Banks! Veteran and locally owned, Jumpmasters features obstacle course lanes, a climbing wall, foam pit with foam pugil sparing sticks, trampoline dodgeball area, multiple trampolines and more. All areas are surrounded by padded floor and deck space, to ensure safety. If jumping is not your thing we have our newest attraction, OBX AXE THROWING. We introduce you to the sport of Urban Axe Throwing following the standards and procedures of the World Axe Throwing League.
Made a reservation to try the new axe throwing and my family had a blast! So much fun and more difficult than you'd think. They have seating area with tables, snacks and a couple of televisions. We had a ball and will be back to do that again soon. Thanks for a great time!
