OUR DAY IN GREENSBORO, N.C.

I grew up in North Carolina, and only about an hour away from Greensboro, but there are things there that I did this past weekend that I've never experienced. It all started with a trip to the Greensboro Science Center.

GREENSBORO SCIENCE CENTER - $16/Ticket (Adult)

Our first stop was to the Greensboro Science Center, where we spent the majority of the trip! This center is a museum, aquarium and zoo all rolled into one.

They had everything from a giant octopus, to penguins, meerkats (which we saw through some trees), free-roaming peacocks, stingrays and so much more.

Because of COVID-19, no one could use the interactive technology, and the touch zones for the stingrays and smaller sea creatures was closed. However, the experience of getting to go to see animals and marine life after not getting to for so long was amazing!

My favorite animals at the zoo/science center was the green snake (second pictured) as well as a guinea pig that looked a lot like my mom's corgi puppy Newton. There was an attraction there called the Sky Walk where you can do a sort of ropes course. It would be perfect for kids and adventurous adults.

Lastly, there was a museum area, which was really cool and featured a giant pendulum that knocked down pieces of metal throughout the day, as well as a merry-go-round (which we didn't do).

LUCHA LIBRE ICE CREAM

Our second and final stop was at Lucha Libra Ice Cream. This placed gained some notoriety on TikTok, where my mom found it. It is basically ice cream and milkshakes with churros! They also have some other latin favorites like mango and chili and the street corn made of corn, mayo, cheese and other tasty ingredients (except the mayo. I don't like mayo, haha).

Anyway, I ended up with the Fresa Guerrera. This is a strawberry milkshake with sprinkles and strawberry jelly! Jonathan got the Lucha Mania, I believe, but I'm not sure which flavor. I know it had smaller pieces of churro in it. 

Each one comes with a syringe of chocolate syrup.

My mom and brother also got some milkshakes and mom loved the churros and got us each one for later!

Even more impressive was the photo opportunities inside the ice cream shop. There was a beautiful photo wall as well as a section reserved for famous luchadores. They also had pictures of ​luchadores as well as some of their masks (or replicas of them, I'm not sure).

IT WAS A GREAT DAY!

We all had such a good time going to the science center and then out for ice cream. I can't wait to go back to Lucha Libre and even to the Science Center. I would definitely recommend both places for fun stops in Greensboro, N.C.
