Unforgettable Winter Activities: Things to Do in New Bern

While summer is often the go-to time of year for vacation, the wintertime has loads of untapped potential for your vacationing experiences. Here are some exciting winter activities you can enjoy in New Bern. 

Visit Downtown 

A winter vacation in New Bern isn't complete without exploring the downtown scene. Learn about the area's history, check out local art or catch a play or musical at the New Bern Civic Theatre. After working up an appetite, you can head to one of the many restaurants, cafes or breweries for some delicious food and drinks your taste buds will love. 

Hit the Ice

Lace-up your skates and glide across a beautiful ice rink in New Bern. When the temperature drops, Union Point Park transforms into a winter wonderland, inviting friends and families to enjoy some ice skating. The rink is open at specific times throughout December and costs $5 for a thirty-minute skate session. 

Discover the Local History 

There is no better way to escape the cold than diving into some indoor activities in New Bern to explore the area's history. New Bern has a few interesting historic locations, including Tryon Palace. Formerly known as the Governor's Palace, Tryon Palace served as the state's first capitol and is home to the North Carolina History Center today. Learn about the birth of Pepsi, walk along the African American Heritage Trail or check out one of the many exhibitions about colonial America. 

Enjoy a Winter Event 

New Bern comes to life during the wintertime. The area is known for its numerous holiday-themed plays and concerts, including the Nutcracker Ballet at the New Bern Civic Theatre. Tryon Palace also puts on an elegant Chamber Music concert performed by the Brierwood Ensemble. Join in on some of the festivities with your four-legged friend in the Annual Santa Paws Parade or during SantaCon with a night out dressed as Santa while you explore the area's finest establishments.
