    Definitely make time to visit the Billy Graham Library if you are in Charlotte. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and the tour inside Billy Graham's boyhood home is very special. The library has excellent video and memorabilia displays that give visitors a full picture of the amazing life of this very special man and his family. Billy and Ruth Graham's gravesites are located on the grounds a short walk from the library entrance. All of the docents are very kind and helpful. There is a gift shop and cafe on-site.

    As a NASCAR fan, this place was heaven! The exhibits are top-notch, and the simulator experience was thrilling. Even my wife, who isn't into racing, enjoyed the history and interactive displays. A must-visit in Charlotte!

    Amazing experience! The interactive exhibits kept my kids entertained for hours, and we all learned so much. The IMAX theater is a must-visit. Highly recommend for a family day out!

    Family fun amusement park that has a lot of thrilling roller coasters and a water park. They are somewhat pricey on food and parking but that's to be expected. Fury 325 was my favorite coaster at the park. Vortex was my least favorite very rough. Staff was not very acknowledging to park guests seem like they were overworked. Overall it's a great thrilling attraction. Would visit again in the future

    Came here with my wife and 1 yr old granddaughter to spend a few hours while mom took care of important business.

    This place is beautifully designed and spacious! It sports a beautiful walking path, a large pond, rolling hills, lush lawns, and old-growth shade trees. We could easily have found a cozy spot to picnic, read a book, toss a frisbee, go fishing, go jogging, taken nature photos, or … all of the above.

    Parking can be tricky to find, but worth the walk. Highly recommended whether you have one hour or all day.

    The museum is great… & free! There’s a lot to see and it gives a great history of Hendricks along the way. The store was well stocked with plenty of Team gear along with some vintage looks. The staff was extremely nice and knowledgeable.

    Nightlight is great we were bar hopping and clubbing. We went to Tilt is was low key not to crowded. Prohibition was a great vibe with great music and the dj was great.

    I went to see the Green Bay Packers play the Carolina Panthers (Packers won 33-30). A friend in Green Bay connected me with someone in N.C. who had Club Section (Silver) seats. This was my first time getting Club Section seats, so all of the so-called "amenities" (e.g., cleaner bathrooms, nicer food areas, cup holders by your seat, separate entrance to your seats, complete player rosters for both teams,.......) were new to me. It was fun. One small negative of the Club Section was that there were even more exclusive clubs within the Club Section to which I was not allowed, such as the Club Terrace; I found this a bit odd. The Bank of America stadium is fairly nice. It was about 70% full, a dramatic change from Lambeau Field, which is almost always completely full. Lambeau is more dramatic, but this stadium is pretty good.

    Not overwhelming but good and different art musuem. 5 floors but really just 3 floors of art. Nice places to sit, flows well. Wirth the senior price of 10 bucks. The museum store was really nice but very pricey.

    I attended a work function in the picnic area. It was very nice. The food was fine. I then walked around the park some. It’s a nice park with great sight lines. Very enjoyable evening.

    Great place to go and get a thinking going. The museum is free. I think it's a great place for anyone, especially kids. Its presentations are rational and thoughtful, yet not hostile and controversial. After all, this is a museum for presenting things, not social media for ranting and raving. Well done.

    The vibe, the people, the drinks- all amazing. I’m so sad we missed the Christmas Market, but the lights and fire made up for it!
