North Carolina State Parks Trivia Game

North Carolina offers a great variety of fun family activities within their state park system. My family has visited quite a few N.C. State Parks, and we hope to enjoy these beautiful, unique areas for many years to come.

I created this trivia game after I noticed that lots of my Facebook friends were mentioning various state parks they had visited and what they liked about those parks. After a bit of research on the N.C. State Parks official web site, I discovered quite a few things about our state parks that make each one unique, so I created this trivia game featuring 15 of North Carolina's state parks.

Directions

  1. Click on the first slide to enlarge.
  2. Click on the slide or thumbnail at the bottom of the screen to advance to the next slide.
