Sometimes finding just the right activity to treat mom to on Mother's Day can prove challenging. Fortunately, there are plenty of great sites to see in the greater Fayetteville area.
From walks with nature to indulging Mom in a cultural experience, the city has something for everyone. Here are our suggestions for some of the top things to do on Mother's Day in Fayetteville:
Cape Fear Botanical Garden has been open since 1989 and features 80 acres of beauty located just two miles from Downtown Fayetteville. The highlights of the property include the Camelia, Daylilly, and Shade gardens as well as the Heritage Garden, the Butterfly Stroll, and Children's Garden.
Garden visitors can enjoy a leisurely walk along the river trail or take a guided tour. They are open from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Mother's Day, and general admission is $10 plus tax.
Another Mother's Day option for getting mom in touch with nature is Arnette Park. The park is one of Fayetteville's most expansive green spaces with over 100 acres of fun activities and beautiful scenery.
Hiking trails located throughout the park give active visitors a great excursion. There are also basketball courts, volleyball nets, and playgrounds to keep the kids occupied while Mom enjoys the great outdoors.
If Mom wants to curl up and enjoy the afternoon indoors, perhaps taking in a film at Cameo Art House Theater is what the doctor ordered. They show a variety of new releases, classics, and art house films.
Cameo recently restored their theatre by taking moviegoers back in time to what it originally looked like in the 1920s. They regularly offer matinee and evening showings, and general admission is $9.75.
