Things To Do
Whitewater Center Parkway
We had our first date ice skating here in January 2022! Located just 20 mins outside of the city center, The Whitewater Center is an outdoor center offering over 30 different seasonal recreational activities, including ziplining, mountain bike trails & rentals, ice skating, REI-like store, and a beer garden. Check out the website for more information!
Optimist Hall
This massive food hall provides guests with ample choices to find just what you are looking for to eat, offering 20+ food stalls, three dine-in restaurants, a craft cocktail lounge, and brewery all on site! Personal favorites are Harriet's Hamburgers, The Dumpling Lady, and Felix's Empanadas.
Rosie's Coffee & Wine Garden
Anyone interested in seeing the beautiful site of our engagement photos should definitely stop by Rosie's Coffee and Wine Garden. Located in the McGill Rose Garden, which opened to the public as a space for the community to enjoy the roses, greenery, and nature in an otherwise urban area. Enjoy sipping your beverage of choice under the twinkle lights and explore the paths of the garden. One of our favorite date nights is grabbing some food to go from Optimist hall, and heading over to Rosie's for a glass of wine while we eat and enjoy each other's company.
Triple C Brewing Company
Triple C is one of our favorite breweries to go to! They boast one of the best food trucks in the city, and often have live music to entertain, with fire pits and heaters when the weather gets colder. Clark recommends you try the 3C IPA!
NASCAR Hall of Fame
Explore the legacies of the legends of our sport while immersing yourself in the excitement, passion and history of NASCAR through ever-evolving exhibits and interactive experiences.
