Salisbury, NC has plenty of things to offer in town, but its central location and access to I-85 also make it a perfect starting point for countless summer activities that are only a short drive away! Whether you’re looking to get the kids out of the house and have some summer fun for the whole family or looking to leave the kids with the sitter and enjoy a romantic day in nature, Toyota Cloninger has you covered.

 

4 Summer Activities You Can Drive to From Salisbury, NC

 

1. Family Fun at The North Carolina Zoo

The NC Zoo isn’t just any zoo! Once you enter, exploring its 2,600 acres full of animals in their natural habitats is a completely different zoo experience. It’s even laid out in continent-specific sections, making it the perfect opportunity to teach the kiddos about native animals. After a full day exploring, the whole family will have plenty to talk about on the short 45-minute ride home.

2. Endless Outdoor Entertainment at the Whitewater Center

Set your Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 features, such as the dynamic-radar cruise control and road sign assist, and ride in comfort to a world of outdoor fun at the Whitewater Center. Ropes courses, rafting, and tubing are just some of the recreational activities offered. If you’re looking for more adult-oriented activities, check out the River Jam series with evening yoga and live music, or sign up for a romantic sunset paddle trip to a fireside culinary experience.

 

3. Beat the Heat at Boone Cave Park

 

Your Toyota RAV4 will keep you cool all summer long, but if you’re looking to stay cool even while you’re outside, head up to Boone Cave Park! Hike through shaded forests, venture to the 140-foot-deep cave where Daniel Boone and his family are thought to have spent their first winter in NC and cool off in gorgeous swimming holes along the river.

 

4. Keep it Local with Dan Nicholas Park

 

If you’re looking to stay closer to home, head to Dan Nicholas Park, a local summer haven. The park features a lake, carousel, aquarium, gem mine, and more. Just don’t forget your picnic! And don’t worry if the kids spill the baked beans before you get there, because Toyota’s stain-and-spill-resistant seats make clean-up a breeze.

 

There’s no shortage of summer fun just a short drive from home, and now that you’ve planned your perfect summer days, how will you get there? Luckily, Toyota Cloninger has that covered too. The Toyota RAV4 XLE Premium’s all-wheel drive is perfect for tackling those beautiful NC mountains, and the roomy SofTex-trimmed seats make summer drives comfortable for the whole family.
