Lovely historic brick buildings. Not much is open during the pandemic, but it is still a nice place to walk my dog. They even have plenty of bags available to pick up after your dog. Water features are currently off, but they look like they would be nice. Outdoor chess game. Nice grass features. Old train, old tobacco manufacturing equipment, big water tower.

It was really cool! They turned an historic building into a very beautiful multipurpose complex for all to enjoy!

Great place to walk at night. Plenty of security is present. Christmas lights are out and the water is running again. Quiet and peaceful.

Beautiful location that is bustling with life! The shops and restaurants located here are all fantastic places to visit and add to the local atmosphere. There is also a parking garage located at the front of the campus that has free parking on the weekends! Whether you are taking a night out with a special someone or taking your family out for a day trip, you won’t leave disappointed. The American Tobacco Trail also is easily accessible from this location as is the rest of the vibrate downtown area!

This place was really cool. Unfortunately it was closed bc of covid but I can imagine it being amazing to watch a ballgame at. If you are into photography I’m sure you could snap a bunch of cool photos and grab a bite at one of the many lunch spots nearby. Your dog might like a stroll through the area also. I’d certainly come back toSee a baseball game.

Amazing place, where the history mixes with the modern design. If you are visiting North Carolina, you cant miss this place. Beautiful combination of water flow and lights. It is like to be in an art museum while you explore the history.

I love this place and its cool scenery!The American Tobacco Historic District is a historic tobacco factory complex. There are still 14 contributing buildings and 3 structures built by the American Tobacco Company, its predecessors and successors from 1874 to the 1950s. The Lucky Strike Building is from 1901. You still see the tall chimney with the Lucky Strike advertisement on.The Historic District is part of a large urban renewal project in downtown Durham designed to bring residents, businesses, and shoppers to the formerly blighted downtown area. The campus had been the HQ of the American Tobacco Company, once the largest cigarettes’ manufacturer in the US. The mostly abandoned campus had been rebuilt after 2001 as part of a redevelopment plan of downtown Durham.

Fascinating to walk around and read about the local history. All the old buildings now have a new function, mainly restaurants and cafes. An interesting water feature runs through the whole site. The Lucky Strike stack makes a fantastic landmark.

This entire campus is fun to walk and spend time with others. It has a mystical feel to it as it melts together traditional industrial architecture with modern technology. A place to see before you die for sure!

Great atmosphere! Nice to overlook the Durham Bulls Baseball Stadium. Clean and friendly staff. Seating inside and outside (outside is covered and heated when it is cold outside). Lots of TVs throughout the inside. Food came quickly and was delicious. Recommend.

Beautiful area to walk around if youre visiting downtown Durham- several amazing restaurants within walking distance as well as the Durham bulls stadium (if youre into that sort of thing) but I think the main attraction is the architecture and vibe that saturates the air... It is the defining tone of Durhams up-and-coming experience and recreates the historical brick and mortar buildings that became Durham.

Great decor, Im a big fan of repurposed building. Lots of services easily within walking distance. Neat and clean

Pretty spot to grab a bite or a drink. Easy free short term parking.

A cool place to dine, walk around and drink.The way this former industrial area has been rejuvenated is a delight to see. It strikes the balance of keeping the history and being contemporary.

A cibrant and dynamic environment with places to eat, work, and play. The water tower in the center of campus is a sight to behold!

Alot of things have closed in this area, but you can still get a good meal with the places remaining.

Coffee is good and it has a nice atmosphere to sit and enjoy your coffee or have a conversation. They have a nice gift shop, too.

Really cool and unique place to go for a nice walk just because of how unique and pretty it is. Unfortunately not as cool anymore since the loss of a couple restaurants/bars, especially Tylers. This place could be so much more than offices, but now there is one less reason to go.

Great place with amazing photo opportunities. Check out some of these shots that I got here, and see if you can recreate/improve. (You probably can!) While you are here you can visit some great restaurants, get in a nice stroll or watch a Durham Bulls baseball game.

Sweet renovated space at the heart of Durham North Carolina. This historic area feels like the heartbeat of Durham culture and growth, embodying the triangles technological revolution vibe in architecture and design.Although it would seem cramped, the flow throughout the TC is smooth and constant. with a central public parking deck, there is almost always somewhere convenient to park for games, work, or just to grab a bite and hang out. Would highly recommend stopping by in walking through the central park / path along a scenic man-made stream, especially at night as it is lit.

Absolutely beautiful area! The history behind the campus is amazing and the new attractions created from the historical buildings is such a nice way to respect history. Its a wonderful place to relax and there are plenty of sitting areas and restaurants nearby. It is a very clean and beautiful part of town!

It’s hard to describe how great American Tobacco Campus is... want a meal? They got great options. Want to explore? There’s lots of little nooks and crannys to discover. Want to take the family for a walk? This is as pleasant a place as you can find in Durham. ATC really adds character to the downtown, Durham wouldn’t be the same without it.

Love the historical facts and memories. Its a great place to learn and to chill, meet new people, and have a bite to eat from amazing restaurants surrounding the Tobacco Campus.

Great time and great evening out with family. What a beautiful view. Super staff. A well remembered evening.

Home of Burts Bees and some examples of the old tobacco industry. Very cool little mall area to shop, eat and enjoy the outdoors. Playing area for kids with a fenced in basketball court. Burts old cabin has been restored on site. Also A baseball stadium nearby and lots of other stuff to see in the downtown area. A must see if youre anywhere near Raleigh-Durham or Hillsboro.

Very cool place astheticaly..... seemed abandoned no one there and if there are shops and restaurants which I was led to believe there was...everything closed.

Went to see the Durham Bulls game and it was my 1st time. Wonderful area outside the ballpark that I never knew existed. I will definitely be back to enjoy other amenities of the area.

Always love taking my visitors there. It is nice and fun to see how beautiful this place is. Restaurants are available close by.

Awesome Downtown. Aloft Hotel was fabulous there

Great night out for a corporate event. Loved the outdoor space. Even though it was mostly chilly the heaters were really effective and made it feel like sitting outside on a spring evening. Fantastic experience and great food offerings too.

I liked that place. Looks stylish but very very quiet. I hope it.s depend of pandemic.

Love this part of Durham. For anyone who has not been here I definitely advise you to check it out. There are so many things to do with many bars and restaurants. The layout is awesome with the Durham Bulls baseball park right there. This is the best party of downtown Durham in my opinion

American Tobacco Campus is a great place to walk around. There are hammocks and rocking chairs doted throughout the campus. When I went there in July of 2019 a couple of favorite restaurants had left, which surprised me as I felt they were always busy. However, the campus is still beautiful and during the day pretty easy to park at.

A neat place to visit in downtown Durham. Recently revived with new businesses openning, it is a great place for young and old to spend some relaxing time and find the hubby, they enjoy.

Other than the parking nightmare that is downtown, this place has a lot to offer. Food, entertainment, sports...its all here. Great area to park and planned foot traffic to wander around. Highly recommend a visit if youve never been.

Truly is a beautiful campus. I am frustrated, and maybe someone can explain the logic behind this, the basketball court was locked and the chess set was chained up. It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon, and fan fest was starting in a few hours at the Bulls stadium. The chess set and basketball court were very nice, but the children (and adults) of Durham should be able to enjoy them at least on weekends where the weather cooperates.

Well maintained and clean. Saw them spraying all outside chairs and tables with disinfectant.

I enjoyed going there for the baseball game once a while... history about this place interesting

Im legit ole school... Meaning, my grandfather retired from American Tobacco in the 1980s. Where the stadium is now is where my grandmother would wait in the parking lot for him to come out from work.

Absolutely love the ATC. It is always a great place to go spend some time outside, great if youre into Pokemon Go, and is surrounded by wonderful restaurants. They also have a giant chess set, a fire pit, and a covered soccer field.

Beautiful place to visit! Great for groups and families.

Amazing as always! But where is the water? Why is it turned off?

Newest hot spot in Durham with award winning restaurants, shopping, free, live music in summer, acclaimed DPAC Performance Center, new Durham Bulls Baseball Stadium! Winding through a connection of streams and waterfalls, grassy lawns and annual flowers. Tables and benches are peppered though-out, best go after 6 in southern summers. Some free parking but not a lot to be prepared to pay to park and wheelchair accessible. Great indoor outdoor place with lots or room for kids run around and sit back with a beverage in hand while dining at Cuban Revolution. Definite stop while in Durham! Update 6/3 Took my girls there to shoot their graduation pictures and went a little later so got to see the area at night!! Gorgeous, magical with twinkle lights, lights in the steams and pools...perfect place to go gave dinner, walk around or just chill. Downtown has really changed from a scary, don’t go after dark to one of the hippest places in the Triangle!!

Great place to work, relax, eat, or workout. Parking can be rough if you don’t have a pass but it’s usually not bad.

Super cool, restored brick warehouses with massive timber beams inside creating refined modern spaces with old world materials. Lots of interesting activities and business in the gentrified district including starting access to the American Tobacco Trail.

Nice atmosphere. We hung out here for a couple hours before a concert at the DPAC to enjoy the view, a live band and some beers from the Cuban place nearby.

Its fine they dont sell cigarettes anywhere tho

Beautiful at night with the lights and lots of places to grab a bite to eat

The transformation this place has seen is remarkable. Its a beautiful place to visit now. A few restaurants and bars one could go to. Apartments to live in, or places to work anything you want. Its walking distance from the bus station and also the start point to many group tours.

I work here and love the campus! The only thing that would make it better is more on campus food options.

Love to walk around the campus, wish parking was easier. Lots to do around there, even if you are just passing through on your way to DPAC. Restaurants, a few bars and people-watching!

Very neat and fun place to explore during Christmas-time - lots of christmas lights and decorations. We ate dinner here, too, and that was nice. Parking garage is relatively easy to access/use. Man-made river/creek is cool. Just a neat vibe to the whole place. :)

Lots of great food and entertainment. One of the best places in Durham.

Beautiful,calm and relaxing place. Very close to my house and so I often visit this place, even spend some quality time reading a book there. Very much recommended during summer days. The trails are even good for walking

The kids loved all the paths and water falls and river crossings on stones. The Burts Bees cabin was great and there is a Mellow Mushroom! We saw a ball game and that was entertaining as well.

Beautiful area, lots of history, check it out!

Wow! An old school Lucky Strike cigarette factory turned in to an amazing public area right beside the Durham Bulls Stadium.Several restaurants to choose from all the way from college type bars to upscale dining. Running water with a very intuitive and intricately designed lighting system. Very safe, lots of rocking chairs, benches, tables etc.Family friendly, garage parking if desired.A MUST SEE if you are in the Raleigh-Durham area. Thank you Emily for showing me around, you know who you are. ;-)

Weve been here a few times now. Always a nice visit. Always clean and safe. We should stop in here more often.

Beautiful campus and great place to just walk around.

Durham Regional Association of Realtors held our Installation of Officers luncheon at Bay 7. Its an outstanding venue for events, I highly recommend the space! Hire your own catering service and doll it up to your hearts desire. Take a walk around the campus and see why we Love calling Durham home!

Our waiter was great and the food was delicious. Cant wait to go again

Always the same. Tough to find parking

Historic place, do not miss Burts bee

The trail is always a nice get away. When the trail marker reads 1.25 youll be surrounded by foliage and thats a sight.

An iconic spot downtown with plenty of places to eat and drink. Relax in the hammocks or walk around and take in the beauty. You can also play a game of giant chess.

Great place for a family outing, date night for sexy singles, or just a relaxing stroll on any night.

Full of history.. Even some old menus floating around as well...

History meets modern restaurants and pubs, it has a beautiful walk way. Visit it both in the evening and during the day

One of my favorite Durham places. Near the bulls games, a great place to hang out, and Burt’s Bees is nearby.

Beautiful place to take an evening stroll. Relaxing sound of water throughout. Don’t forget to check out the tiny cabin which belonged to Burt’s Bees founder .

I havent been able to thoroughly visit and enjoy cigarette history land, but this themed attraction has my attention. Yes, Im a smoker, but Im a big fan of history, and this place is so far, fantastic. Smoker or not, history buff or otherwise, VISIT THIS PLACE!

Beautiful place to walk around, very historical. Quaint areas for lunch, or just to sit and enjoy the beauty and quiet.

Very cool re-purposed building. Hands down the coolest environment that I have worked in. Great location with many restaurants in American Tobacco Campus. If looking for something else, there are a plethora of options within a few minutes’ walk on Main St in downtown Durham. Make sure to check out a Durham Bulls game across the street. Also worth checking out the WUNC Back Porch Music series in the summer, and definitely come at Christmas time to see the decorations.

Absolute relaxation ! Dont go when its busy unless you dont mind crowds. Great for photography students. If you play Pokemon Go, has lots of gyms and stops.

Beautiful Durham!! Hopefully, youre not one of those ppl who heard nothing but bad things about Durham! Although some ppl are constantly bringing up the past to put down their own state Durham turned it around.ATC is a awesome place for outdoor people, people watchers, sports fan, foodies, shoppers, photographers and more. You can walk past a live wedding, attend the baseball game, and have some great food on Blackwell St.ATC is easy to get to because, it sits right off the freeway-147 for easy commute if youre not from this area.This campus can be used for time alone, date night, relaxing after work, hanging with the family, or looking for love A good place to meet a blind date to walk, talk, eat and sit. Maybe catch a Durham Bulls game. I must say they have done a great job making this campus wheelchair accessible Go check it out!

A nice campus with good shops and places to eat

I loved the place, I was born in Durham but I didnt grow up, I returned 20 years later and I loved the city !!

Came to see Joan Baez at DPAC while the Art of Cool event was going on. Lots to see and do! Had some great food at M Kokko and a drink on the Pool/Patio - lots of people, good food and fun!

Great place with the history of tobacco processing and cigarette production in the U.S. Tobacco Row is the home of Burts Bees. Burts original house and his beehive, with live bees, are available for tour.Great restaurants as well!

We went down to shoot the (Tower lighting ceremony) last week. These are some personal photos from the camera phone plus a snapshot of my best guy in the multiverse! :) heheAlso, met some of the professionals who organized the event. They did a really great job organizing the kids, the adoring durham fans and the show!Ill admit I was a little worried about Santa.... I knew he should have been at the North Pole watching his mischievous elves. Not hanging out with Wool E Bull dancing all over the town. But then again Mrs. Claus needs a date night too. Go Santa!All of the acts did a wonder job! I know a few of the performers. And one special girl who brought proud tears to my eyes. It has to be said. You all represented!!! more pictures to come soon.

Good place to visit with family

Went to a music festival. Good music for free!

They have a lot of cool shops here and parking isnt too bad either.

It is a beautiful historic place to walk, eat and hang out with family and friends in downtown Durham.We enjoyed a pleasant post-Thanksgiving stroll in the Christmas decor theme with the lush flowing water landscape throughout.If you walk across the floatingstones and turn around the parked train carriage, you will find a beautiful giant playable chessboard and a gas lit open fire pit to keep you warm.They also have a movie theatre that shows eclectic documentaries and films.

It was awesome as usual. Wonderful complex with lots to do saw some amazing fireworks and a bulls game.

Great area... full of things to do and eat. I had no problems getting around, for everything was within walking distance to include the YMCAs gym.

Excellent setting near Durham bulls stadium. Decent bar food and great beer.

Awesome place for a Cruise-in!

This place is beautiful. There are restaurants, a YMCA, and Durham Techs culinary program is housed here. Its a great place to walk around in the evening when the fountains and lights are on. It looks magical. Great place to bring a date when you just want to walk around, talk, and admire the scenery.

A must visit if you come to Durham. Great place for families or a night out on the town. Almost 1/2 mile waterfall and river down the middle of the campus. Our kids love this place.

Very cool location!

There is so much to do in the American Tobacco District! If you want a nice meal with a lovely walk and talk date, this is your spot. Lots of yummy restaurants and plenty of area around the Lucky Strike Tower to walk around and sit at tables and fun spots to talk and enjoy the company of friends and family. Theres even fire pit for cold nights. Of course, theres the awesome Durham Bulls baseball park to enjoy a summer game! Great place for a date night or family night!

From the DPAC to the DBAP this is probably the first place youll visit in Durham, if not make it your second. Several great restaurants including Tobacco Road with their exceptional view of the Durham Bulls field. Plus its just a cool atmosphere for a stroll or whatever youre looking for.

We stopped in here for the Mellow Mushroom. Great place to take a walk, free parking on weekends, and good food close to the highway.

North Carolina has transited from tobbaco economy to knowledge based economy, you realise the fact when you are here.

Beautiful at night for a nice walk after a Bulls game.

Great example of adaptive reuse of historic industrial buildings. North Carolina has been the tobacco capital of the world and these buildings are evidence of that once thriving industry.

Ive been here several times now and I love it! The whole place is so peaceful and the food is all amazing (its on the pricey side but thats to be expected) and with it being right next to DPAC with free parking after 5 its a God send!Edit: not sure if this has changed in the last month, but all the restaurants have closed down and the place was a ghost town when we went in August! Even though a very popular show was going on at the DPAC next door

Great weekends here, biking, shopping, eating, ball games, DPAC. Enjoy!

Beautiful n historical place/plaza. Night Hangout is more beautiful n cooling in winter with sound if running water.We decided to go for just watch, n spend 3 hours over there.
