This is always a great art event that offers different activities and performances each day it’s going on in Uptown.
Charlotte SHOUT!
Such a cute park with an amazing view of the city skyline and planes.
CLT Airport overlook
This whole area is really nice to walk around if you have a little one that’s not quite ready to play on the playground. The playground itself is really nice.

Great place to go on a super hot day or rainy day with the family
Museum of Illusions - Charlotte
There’s two art museums right next to each other in Uptown to have a full museum family day. This one is a smaller one but still great to visit
Bechtler Museum of Modern Art
There’s two Mint Museums in Charlotte. This one is great for easier parking and then there’s one in Uptown.
The Mint Museum – Randolph
You can knock this one out same day that you visit Bechtler since they’re both in Uptown

This food hall was made with families in mind. They have a couples mothers rooms, play areas inside, and a splash pad outside. The food is pretty good and it’s a great communal space.
