    The pan is covered when there isn't a cooking event going on. Nonetheless, it is still exciting to see. It is easy to find since it is located in a labeled gazebo in a small park. We parked on the street and walked a short distance to see it. We enjoyed reading about it on the nearby signs, especially regarding the amount of food it holds. If there is not an event going on, it only takes a few minutes to park, walk over to the pan, and read the signs. Then I recommend checking out Rose Hill restaurant or Duplin winery nearby!

    Not much here when there isn't a cooking event. The frying pan is in a small gazebo shelter and there's a sign. Some street parking. The frying pan looks like it might be a big Mongolian barbecue setup. I'd like to see it in action one day. [Review 14013 overall, 1335 of 2020, number 2653 in North Carolina.]

    There wasn't much to see when I stopped, since it was all covered up. I can imagine it's pretty cool when it's cranking, though. :-D I'd love to see it in action!

    This was a must stop on our way from the Duplin Winery as who would not want to get their photograph at the Worlds Largest Frying Pan?! . I would not go out of my way as it was not that impressive, yet was fun as we were close.

    I was heading from Wilmington to White Lake NC and I had to make the detour. There are no rides or gift shops for the kids here for sure. Just a small town with a giant frying pan for the poultry festival and a cool little winery about a half mile away. Combine the two for a great little side trip. Would I drive here from Atlanta just to see the pan....No but if your heading to Wilmington it is a stop well worth the few minutes of the highway it is. Good signage letting you know how to get there also is a plus.

    Daughter enjoying the pose in front of the largest frying pan in the world!

    Wish they didn't have the cover over the pan. Really neat to see a small town only a short drive from a major city like Wilmington that has the World's Largest Frying Pan, good people that are trying to make ends meet.

    Is this still dormant, or is it being used? If so, is there a 2024 schedule I can check out to see it in action? Thanks in advance

    Yes, I drove an hour round trip to take a picture of a sign but this one is special. It denotes the…read moretime that the United States bombed North Carolina, nearly a hundred years after the end of the Civil War. The marker reads, "Nuclear Mishap. B-52 transporting two nuclear bombs crashed, Jan. 1961. Widespread disaster averted; three crewmen died 3 miles south." Okay, all kidding aside. Three Air Force crew died and in the process, prevented what would have been an unspeakable tragedy. It is a serious matter. During the height of the Cold War, the United States had a policy of keeping armed aircraft in the air at all times in the event of a conflict. Nuclear deterrence and all that. Well, this B-52G Stratofortress took some structural damage during an air refueling and while preparing to land at nearby Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, it experienced a major failure of the right wing. The plane broke up and exploded at 8000 feet. "As a result of the breakup of the plane, two MK39 nuclear weapons were released at a height of between 10,000 and 2,000 feet. Seven of eight arming, fusing, and firing switches and devices in one bomb automatically actuated. Only a crew-controlled switch prevented a nuclear detonation. Since its parachute deployed, one bomb had only minor damage when it fell about a mile from the crash site. The second bomb fell free, without its parachute deploying, and broke apart on impact." "Components of the bomb were sought for several weeks. The decision was made to leave remaining portions of the weapon containing uranium, believed to have entered the water table, in the ground. As a precaution, the government purchased part of the site and still maintains an easement in order to prevent digging in the vicinity. Periodic groundwater tests, still conducted by the state, have revealed no contamination." As the sign mentions, the actual crash is three miles away and the grounds are secured. Here in downtown Eureka, there isn't much. A small sandwich shop is near the sign if you're hungry. [Review 15486 overall, 990 of 2021, number 3029 in North Carolina.]

    Nice little NPS site. Good interpretative content. Grounds very well maintained. Friendly…read morerangers. Top tier junior ranger program. Probably a 90 minute stop. A place worth checking out.

    (This visit was made during the times of Covidious. When things return to a look of normality -…read moreyour experience likely will vary.) We made our trek to Moores Creek during Covid which of course means that aside from the trails and the parking lot (restrooms reopened on 7/1/20 but our visit was a few days prior) everything here in terms of programming or the visitors center is closed until NC enters stage 3. From the NPS website: "The Battle of Moores Creek Bridge, fought between North Carolina Patriots and Loyalist militia forces, demonstrates the bitter internal divisions that marked the American Revolution. The Loyalists, mostly Scottish Highlanders wielding broadswords, charged across a partially dismantled Moores Creek Bridge. Nearly a thousand North Carolina Patriots waited quietly with cannons and muskets poised to fire. Expecting to find only a small Patriot force, the Loyalists advanced across the bridge. Shots rang out and when the smoke cleared, some 30 to 70 Loyalists lay dead or wounded. Among the dead was Lt. Col. Donald McLeod, who had led the charge. Stunned, outgunned, and leaderless, some of the Loyalists surrendered, while others retreated in confusion. Moores Creek is the site of the first Patriot victory in the American Revolution and the site of the last Scottish Highland broadsword charge. The victory ended British authority in the colony and stalled a full-scale British invasion of the South for nearly four years. This decisive victory spurred the creation of the Halifax Resolves on April 12, 1776, which instructed North Carolina's delegates to the Continental Congress to vote for independence. North Carolina was the first American colony to take such action. Less than three months later, the United States would ratify the Declaration of Independence." Nice. Neat. Clean. This is very much a C-List NPS stop which doesn't mean that it's not interesting, but it means that within the grand scheme of the Revolutionary War what took place here was a small one time affair that played a minor role in the eventual outcome. The below map shows the three trails that the site offers. The Tarheel Trail gives via placard an overview of the area and some backstory as to why the British were interested in the region (mostly for it's timber). www.nps.gov/mocr/planyourvisit/maps.htm The History Trail should be done counterclockwise simply because the placards tell the story of the battle in that direction. It doesn't make as much sense doing it in reverse, trust me. Off of the History Trail is a small boardwalk area that takes you over the top of Moores Creek itself. Swampy and buggy as all hell. The area floods often enough that the NPS has concerns about the long term viability of being able to interpret/use the grounds as they are currently laid out. www.starnewsonline.com/news/20200703/flooding-could-make-moores-creek-battlefield-inaccessible-in-20-30-years Overall the park is well maintained and easy to navigate. It's size also makes it something that can be explored and enjoyed in an hour or two. Valley Forge this is not, but it's still worth a visit to this hidden gem. (For the record, one of the rangers who seemed like he was really bored came out to meet us on his golf cart while we were on the History Trail and gave some very good info about the park. A+)
