Charlotte has so many incredible affordable places to visit and activities that the entire family will enjoy.
My kids love exploring the grounds of these beautiful gardens. There is also a fantastic brand new playground that kids of all ages enjoy.
Daniel Stowe Conservancy
Located about 20 min outside of Charlotte, this kids museum is truly fun for kids of all ages. Tons of pretend play areas including a grocery store, airplane and water play area.
Discovery Place Kids-Huntersville
My kids love this place so much, we have a yearly membership. Perfect place to get their energy out on rainy days.
Urban Air Adventure & Trampoline Park - Mint Hill, NC
This park is located behind the Ballantyne resort within walking distance from the new Bowl at Ballantyne shopping and restaurant center. Tons of cool activities including slides, a climbing wall and open play area.
Stream Park
This playground and the skate park adjacent to it are perfect for kids of all ages. Located right off Main Street in downtown Waxhaw. I has the perfect small town feel, and if you get lucky you may even see the train going through town on your visit.
David G. Barnes Children's Park
The cutest children’s art studio. My daughter attended a birthday party here recently and it was just perfect. Located in downtown Waxhaw right in the heart of Main Street. They also have summer camps and children’s art classes.
