Family Favorites

Carolina Parent Family-Favorite Winners!
The ballots are in, the votes have been tallied, and we’ve got the low-down on what stores, services, places and people our readers trust and turn to most often. The following list of Family Favorites is based on the experienced opinions of hundreds of parents in the Triangle. Congratulations to the winners. We’re proud of your commitment to making life better, easier, happier, healthier, more tasty and more fun for the families in our neighborhoods.

Please note: Categories marked with an asterisk (*) indicate that two or more businesses or locations received equal numbers of votes. In some categories, more than five nominees received the same number of votes; those results are not included in this listing.
