Family activities are not synonymous with “boring,” as evidenced by the offering of Outer Banks family attractions. In fact the majority of Outer Banks attractions are perfect for families. Sure, most people visit the Outer Banks for the beach, but these activities allow you to experience the area in a whole new way. Go on tours to find the wild horses or see a view of the coastline from the water. Visit museums, monuments and lighthouses to get a taste of the Outer Banks history. Parade through gardens and nature preserves as you and your family find plants and animals that are native to the Outer Banks. Feed animals on farms during the day and check out kid-friendly movies (indoor and out!) in the evening. With a week to do everything, the activities will seem limitless. Check out our listing below of all the Outer Banks family activities that you and everyone in your party can enjoy, and get ready for the fun that awaits you.
