Find Raleigh’s fun with a short drive around town

Brier Creek’s suburban focus means residents won’t find as many nightlife options as other local areas like downtown Raleigh or North Hills. But locals still have a range of choices for spending time away from home. Frankie’s amusement park is a reliable stop for family outings, featuring a wide range of attractions. Locals can enjoy games of laser tag, race on one of three go-kart tracks, earn high scores at the arcade or perfect their putting on one of three mini-golf courses. For more family fun, Pump It Up hosts birthday parties and open play sessions in an indoor inflatable park. New movies screen weekly at Regal Brier Creek. Locals looking for nights on the town can enjoy drink specials at Brier Creek Beer Garden, live music at Trali Irish Pub, or cocktails and wine at Azitra Indian Culinary Nirvana. Exercise gyms nearby include Orangetheory, Burn Boot Camp and Planet Fitness. Fans of the NC State Wolfpack and the Carolina Hurricanes can catch their teams’ games at Carolina Ale House close to home, or in person at Carter-Finley Stadium and PNC Arena.
