Colonel Francis Beatty Park (playground)

“Wonderful location to get away but no too far. Couples or just bring friends this stop is the always location. Sit in front of the fire pit or just walk the vineyards with your bottle and glasses in hand. Wide variety from the sweet to the Muscadine.”

“Great quiet, smaller mall but great location, and not crowded. You can find Sears, J c Penny’s, Victoria Secret, Belk, Books a million, Rue 21, Kay Jewelers, Foot Locker, Journeys shoe store, Rack room and more. 3 miles from home”

“I categorized the Children's Theatre of Charlotte as a Theatre, but it is really two-theatres-and-a-library! It's a wonderful library for children of all ages, with a separate loft area for teens. And the theatres are always featuring performances that are appropriate for the whole family. Now, if you're in Charlotte between late November and early December, you've got to take the kiddos to Santa's Bag. They will have a great time as they stroll around and shop for Christmas gifts. But be sure to check out their calendar of events at ctcharlotte.org.”

“The Checkers are Charlotte's minor league Hockey Team. Great for family events and to catch some amazing hockey up close and persona.”
