The Harvey B. Gantt Center for African- American Arts + Culture celebrates the contributions of Africans and African- Americans to American culture and serves as a community epicenter for music, dance, theater, visual art, film, arts education programs, literature and community outreach. Jay and Whit have both visited this museum and considered it for their wedding venue.
This is a great way to check out the city up close. The Segways are easy to get the hang of, Whitley isn't super coordinated and caught on quickly. Day and night tours available. Helmets are required and provided. Check other websites for similar tours.
Located about 40 minutes from Uptown Charlotte, Tiger World Endangered Wildlife Preserve is a nonprofit animal conservation and educational center dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and preservation of exotic animals. Outside of tigers, Tiger World has many other animals, some of which you can feed, like bears, monkeys, and birds. Tiger World has paved pathways, provides a wheelchair and wagons for guests to use, and has a driving cart to take guests around who may be otherwise challenged to enjoy the zoo.
