A diverse and growing city, Charlotte offers a plethora of entertainment options from its bustling downtown area to quaint suburban communities. The urban center of Uptown is home to the Levine Museum of the New South, which explores post–Civil War history in the region, and Discovery Place, which features hands-on science exhibits. Outside of the city, you’ll find pristine mountain scenery and a number of parks that host seasonal festivals.
If you’re looking for a day of shopping, the SouthPark neighborhood has all you need with its 1.8 million-square foot mall featuring Nordstrom’s and Macy’s. For a touch of culture, the Charlotte New Music Festival features music and dance collaborative workshops, lectures and performances. If outdoor recreation is your thing, the Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden hosts Holidays at the Garden from November through December.
