A Few of Charlotte Metropolitan area gems

​

Charlotte is one of the most unique cities. It's combination of a fast paced lifestyle with southern-charm undertone mesmerizes anyone who visits. No wonder Charlotte is one of fastest growing cities in US. With its economy blossoming, Charlotte is not just all work and no play. We are proud of its many unique leisure activities. From the U. S. National Whitewater Center to the Bank of America Panthers Stadium, we offer a wide variety of activities for you to choose. Below, I have compiled a small list of some of my favorite pastime places to visit and things to see.

 

This is just a tiny glimpse into what Charlotte has to offer.Each section has a small description but once the button 'Read More' is clicked, a summary of helpful and pertinent information will appear. My goal for this part of the site is for you to use it as a "cheat sheet" of fun things to see and do in our beautiful city. I hope you find it useful and happy exploring!
