Charlotte Community Guide
If you’re looking for a destination with activities and attractions to keep everyone happy, Charlotte is the place. Carowinds theme park provides families with an exciting day of water sliding and riding rollercoasters, while Discovery Place offers more fun, but with education thrown in while the kids aren’t looking.
