Unfortunately, the exhibits are closed right now but the gift shop is very nice. Many educational things to buy as well as nice trinkets.

Very nice and beautiful structure, we all had a good day

Wonderful gift shop with a variety of items that can be used for self or gifts. I did some Christmas shopping!

We went to a lecture about the Civil War and New Bern and it was fascinating. The auditorium has great sight lines and excellent acoustics. Very enjoyable afternoon

Nice place to spend several hours. Informative and helpful guides.

Very nice facility with articulate displays focused on North Carolina history. I especially enjoyed learning about the Barbour Boat Company. A New Bern industry that built small boats and during WWII, naval vessels from 1932 until late in the 80s.

Great place to learn North Carolina history. Very interactive with knowledgable volunteers that are very helpful. We will return again with the whole family.

There’s not much to this place other than a gift shop and small theater with a short film which lasted maybe 5 minutes. We did not go to the “family center” which is only for kids.The auditorium is closed for renovations, and the cafe is permanently closed as the business moved out.I’d avoid this place until it improves. You may want to call ahead and see what’s open.

The museum just keeps getting better and better every time I visit. It does a wonderful job of displaying artifacts, pictures, etc and providing information that tells a very comprehensive story of the history of the whole region. It is excellent!

Great museum for learning the history of New Bern side by side with a trip back in time to let the kids experience life in 1835. Must go place if you are bringing children to New Bern.

Had never been here before. Really enjoyed it..

Great presentations put on by the New Bern Historical Society. Also the annual pottery exhibit is a favorite.

Alot of greay history to be learned here

Wow History is fun and informative. Wish it hadnt rained, would love to have see the Palace. Easy parking indoor and outdoors great views. So.thi g for everyone.

Great place to get to know about New Bern. Very nicely designed/built. nice place to get out of the heat also,

Nice open space. Air conditioned and great for those summer nc afternoons for something to do.

This is a great attraction and extension of Tryon Palace in New Bern.

Very nice venue for concerts. Great info for things to do around New Bern, NC.

Best gift shop!

Holiday Fest was a bust. Few silent auction items, attendance was poor. Needs more marketing experience in setting up this event. 2017 event was great, 2018 was a bust, hopefully, 2019 has better planning.

Absolutely amazing

Love History! This place has some great tour guides!

Very spacious and comfortable. Excellent gift shop and exhibits.

We came here today for the first time and had a ball. There is so much to do here that I never knew about. The employees are very friendly and helpful. If you have kids with you be sure to check out the family center and go in the time machine, my 8 year old nephew loved it! With all of the activities and so much to see, the admission price is well worth it!

N3w. Recovered from flood, Great staff.

Attended lecture on British Gardens presented by Bryce Lane.Enjoyed it very much!

Very nice history center. Makes for a nice day of fun and learning for all ages.

Attended the US Air Force jazz band concert. Fantastic facility and event!

We went to see Hamiltunes. It was a free event hosted by the palace and performed by the civic center. It was a sing-a-long. Itwas a great time. Now while there they passed around a membership pamphlet. The prices for single start at $75 and go to 1000+. The prices for an average family $150. (2 adults with two kids under 18). The prices where high for what you got. I live less then 15 mins away and have to full price to go. No incentive or cheaper price for those in county or even in city limits. Free events happen but its never during peak time when stuff is blooming. Prices normally 20 for adults 10 for grades 1-12. Still high for only a days activity. What would bring in more people? Lowered amount on admission and lower amount on memebership for key demographic( family) and a special price those in the area. I have lived here 10 years gone 3 times. 2 free events one paid. Should sum it up.

This is a great place to learn all about the history of North Carolina and how people lived hundreds of years ago! Learn all about New Bern!!

Very well done exhibits. Still recovering from the storm but well worth the visit!

Really cool place to go to with a nice surrounding area. Worth making a stop and taking a tour of the palace. This is also a place where they shot some of the scenes from the TV series Sleepy Hollow. You buy the tickets around the corner at the museum, which is another nice place and I recommend eating there at Lawsons Cafe.

There is an exhibit in a back room that is really good and covers the early history of North Carolina. The Pepsi center is also great and is included in the Tryon Palace and houses tour ticket.

These staff was a wonderful help!

Employees were extremely helpful! I was in search of a book I had seen on display at the Waystation. The manager indicated the one Id seen was the last one as it was out of print and volunteered to drive to pick it up to sell it to me. Now THATS customer service! We just wished they sold 4x6 NC flags as my sons are collectors of flags. :-)

We just went to the Tryon Palace Winter Fest Oryster roast and other food was Great!!

Interesting step back in time.

Clean facility and the best gift shop around New Bern!

Dont miss visiting this gem. The exhibits are terrific and the programming is even better. Im fond of the Garden Tours and Lunch and Learns.

Listened to the Air Force Blues band. Great jazz!

Nice place to spend a relaxing morning or afternoon. Pleasant welcoming staff.

Great place for an event

Lovely venue for concerts and presentations.

Wonderful NC history exhibit. Great selection of books and souvenirs.

Awesome tours, very cool place to visit!

A fantastic experience tied together with a visit to Tryon Palace. They have an interactive section geared especially for kids 5-12, but it was fun and educational for an adult too. I would recommend it for anyone visiting the Palace.

Always a favorite! Great shopping!

Attended an interesting lecture on Barbour Boatworks, a business previously on site.

A gathering for Camp Sea Gull

Wonderful place to visit or as a venue for an event. Great & helpful staff, amazing atmosphere & filled with history.

Great museum and shows history well and the hands on entertainment for the kids is great!! Great learning center.

The Pepsi center is super fun if you have kids with you. They will love the interactive boat!

Great family place very educational lot of interactive exhibits. Great place to be on a hot day thats for sure.

The North Carolina History Center is an ideal location to learn about the history of North Carolina and the earlier colonial times in our history. If youre interested in African-American history, there is an abundance of information on their lives and struggles as slaves, as well as free people prior to the Civil War. The center also has interactive displays and is great for families.

Wonderful atmosphere for a formal event.

Sham Rockin was fabulous. A great place for venue

Nice little museum. Mostly a ticket office for the Tryon palace but they do have some nice displays.

You need a few hours dedicated for just here to really enjoy it as there are many interactive displays.

Kids loved the time machine and activities in 1835. Interesting info of the area.

Wonderful events and educational

A unique building constructed to enhance the existing property, and landscaped with flora indigenous of eastern North Carolina.The venue is also one used for weddings, galas, balls, and special events for Tryon Palace.

Always something to learn.

The Cullman Performance Hall is small so get early for an event.
