If speed is what you need, and you're into cars like Scott, The Nascar Hall of Fame is your place. Not only do they have the full history of Nascar, they have activities that put YOU up close and personal.
Did you really think we were only going to put one craft beer spot on the map? Of course not. If beer doesn't do it for you... Go here. I guarantee these people will find a beer you fancy. Still not a fan? Their wine selection is still worth the trip. We fell in love with this place when we lived in Pineville. Small bottle shop filled with great people and even better memories. Ask anyone from the area, they have probably been here with us.
The Billy Graham Library has been the #1 thing to do in Charlotte for the last several years. Admission is free. Even if you're not the religious type, his influence on the USA and around the world is undeniable. He was the pastor to every president from Harry S. Truman to Barack Obama. This is such a peaceful and inspiring place, we promise you won't leave disappointed.
If you have never been to a garden before, this is the one to start with. It has a history dating back to the late 1700s and has continuously expanded over the last 200 years! Absolutely stunning scenery especially in the fall months.
