The Asheboro center is approximately the area of Randolph Hospital and 3 miles north of Randolph Community College.
With four distinct seasons in Asheboro, planning the right time to visit depends on your priorities. Even though summers are hot and humid, summer is still the most popular season to visit. Average high temperatures from June to August are in the upper 80s Fahrenheit. It's also not uncommon to see temperatures at or above 90. Despite the temperatures, summer is when most of the city's festivals and events happen. However, since the abundance of activities means more people come to the area during the summer months, hotel deals may be harder to find.
When fall arrives in Asheboro, the crowds start to thin out and hotels begin lowering prices, which makes this season an ideal time to plan a visit. Average highs in September are still comfortable and in the upper 70s. By November, these highs are in the low 60s, so you may want to bring a coat if you plan on visiting in late fall.
Average high temperatures from December to February are in the 40s and 50s, and the area sees an average of 5 inches of snowfall during the winter. Even though the weather isn't ideal for exploring the outdoor attractions, many indoor attractions are still open, and hotels offer the lowest prices of the season during these months. If you're interested in getting the best hotel deal possible, winter is when you want to travel to Asheboro.
When spring arrives in Asheboro, the temperatures start to climb, and people begin heading outdoors again. Average highs from March to May are in the 60s and 70s. If you visit during the early part of spring, you may be able to find several hotel deals remaining from winter. However, keep in mind that the closer to the end of May you get, the higher the hotel prices will start to climb.

I was in Asheboro for a baseball Umpire Camp at McCrary Park. They are doing some good work there to make that baseball stadium a very nice venue.
Asheboro has a wide variety of good restaurants.
The zoo was nice. Everything was conveniently located.
I do like that there is a eatery/retail shopping strip on one entire road. That made my afternoons after the workshop an adventure since there were so many places to go!
I was there to visit the zoo and to photograph the Pisgah Covered Bridge and wish I had more time to explore Asheboro. I am sure I will be back and will allow myself more time to explore the city.
