Things to Do in Greensboro NC: New Weekend Guide to Local Spots Released

Vibe Local Press's Greensboro Vibe guide maps a weekend itinerary of Greensboro attractions, covering the Downtown Greenway, farmers market, civil rights museum, downtown parks, and the Science Center, with hours and pricing included.

Center Valley, United States, November 3, 2026 /NewsNetwork/ -- Vibe Local Press has published a weekend guide to things to do in Greensboro NC on its Greensboro Vibe city site. The guide is built around five stops: the Downtown Greenway, the Greensboro Farmers Curb Market, the International Civil Rights Center & Museum, Greensboro's downtown parks and the Greensboro Science Center.

The guide lays the stops out in roughly the order a visitor might string them together over a weekend, with hours and prices taken from each place's own pages and a closing section on planning around tours, weather and parking.

The itinerary opens with the Downtown Greenway, a 4-mile multi-use paved trail encircling downtown Greensboro that tells community stories through public art. The 12-foot path is lit along all sections and open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The guide notes that there are no public restrooms along the loop and that its drinking fountains are turned off in the winter months.

On Saturday mornings, the guide points readers to the Greensboro Farmers Curb Market at 501 Yanceyville Street. Founded by the City of Greensboro in 1874, the market is producer-only, so everything is grown, raised, baked, crafted or made by the vendors themselves, all from within 100 miles of Greensboro. It counts more than 100 vendors and about 250,000 visitors a year.

The guide then turns to the International Civil Rights Center & Museum at 134 South Elm Street, home of the restored, original F. W. Woolworth's lunch counter where the Greensboro A&T Four held their sit-in on February 1, 1960. The museum is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and its Signature Staff-Guided Tour is listed at $20 for adults and $15 for K-12 students.

Downtown, LeBauer Park and Center City Park are open daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Greensboro Downtown Parks hosts more than 350 free programs and events each year. The final stop is the Greensboro Science Center at 4301 Lawndale Drive, an aquarium, museum and zoo in one place, open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with holiday exceptions. Its SKYWILD treetop adventure and FLYWAY Zipline carry separate tickets, and the zipline opens seasonally.

The guide closes with practical notes: book the museum ahead, since visits run as tours and it is closed on Sundays, and confirm hours and prices on each place's own site before going. The full Greensboro weekend guide is available on Greensboro Vibe.
