Some attractions for children in Greensboro, depending on the age of the child and time of year, include:
- The Greensboro Children's Museum
- Greensboro Historical Museum
- Grasshoppers minor league baseball games
- Guilford Courthouse National Military Park (beautiful walk, nice museum - significant because the losses Cornwallis suffered here contributed directly to his defeat at Yorktown by Washington)
- Natural Science Center (lots of exhibits geared to kids and a small zoo)
- Emerald Pointe Water Park
- Greensboro Arboretum
- The Bog Garden (and Bicentennial Garden across the street)
Note: the Children's museum and Historical museum are fairly close to each other - within walking distance
Note: the Arboretum is fairly close to the Bog garden and Bicentennial gardens but certainly not walking distance
