Sightseeing
A visit to Duke University is not complete without a campus tour, but don't forget about the Sarah P. Duke Gardens. This sprawling wonderland of cultivated nature will leave you with your own favorite pavilion. My personal favorite is the Japanese theme with its geometric wooden pier by the lake.
