Due to COVID, finding fun activities to safely do with your family and friends is tough. Many people canceled the usual yearly activities and events in order to keep everyone safe. Although there are not as many activities as there usually is, there are some new and safe holiday places around the Triangle this season.

 

Unscripted Durham

 

The Unscripted Durham Hotel has cleared its patio and filled it with private winter-themed igloos. Parties of 10 or fewer can reserve an igloo and have a socially-distanced outing. People can order food and admire the views of Downtown Durham surrounded by holiday decorations. The igloos are available for reservation until March 2021.
