Things to Do in Durham
Duke gardens
Explore the beautiful gardens where Jordan and Kyle took their first prom photos. Located just a five minute drive or a twenty minute walk from The Cookery, the 55-acre Duke Gardens has a rose garden, a native plants area, a koi and Victoria water lilies pond, and more!
The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock used to be on the stairs going up to Cosmic Cantina, but it was apparently painted over and that makes Jordan sad.

Check out some of Kyle and Jordan’s favorite restaurants from their time at the North Carolina School of Science and Math! Notable spots include Cosmic Cantina, Monuts Donuts, Mad Hatter Bakeshop and Cafe, and Elmo’s Diner.
Museum of life and science
As a museum nerd and former museum educator, Jordan recommends the Museum of Life and Science especially for families (psst, it has a butterfly garden). And, fun fact, this is where Jordan and Kyle’s prom was held! Not sure what their COVID-19 policy is right now, but if they’re open and safe check it out!
