We stopped here on our first long road trip from Massachusetts to South Carolina. One of Nelson’s favorite stops!
Dan Nicholas Park
6800 Bringle Ferry Road, Salisbury, NC 28146
Dan Nicholas Park is home to a campground, lake, carousel, train, gem mine, aquarium and nature center, animal habitats, and more.
NASCAR Hall of Fame
400 East Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard, Charlotte, NC 28202
This one is a bit farther of a drive from Salisbury, but if you’re passing through Charlotte this is a must-see for NASCAR fans! We went here with some good friends (who are now a bridesmaid and groomsman) and had a great time.
Carowinds
14523 Carowinds Blvd, Charlotte, NC 29732
Another option to check out if you’re passing through Charlotte. This time of year, Carowinds amusement park converts to SCarowinds after dark- perfect for both roller coaster lovers and Halloween fanatics.
