PLAYGROUND

PLAYGROUND AT DEADWOOD

Deadwood’s Western-themed playground gives children a place to climb, slide and play while visiting the attraction in Bear Grass, near Williamston, North Carolina. Photos show wooden play towers, connecting walkways and slides. It is part of the outdoor grounds rather than a separately ticketed ride.

HOURS AND ADMISSION

Deadwood is open year-round on Thursday from 5–9 p.m., Friday from 5–9:30 p.m., Saturday from noon–9:30 p.m. and Sunday from 11:30 a.m.–8:30 p.m. It is closed Monday through Wednesday. General admission to the grounds is free, and no separate playground admission is listed.

VISITING WITH CHILDREN

Adults should supervise children on the elevated structures and slides. The play area has wooden surfaces and outdoor ground cover, so comfortable shoes are useful. Allow extra time if your family also plans to walk the Old West streets or stop for food.

OTHER EXPERIENCES

Deadwood also has a restaurant, shops and seasonal train experiences. The regular train season is May through August on Saturdays, with separate fares; special train events run in fall and the holiday season. The roller coaster and mini golf are under renovation.
