Charlotte, North Carolina, is bustling with family activities. In fact, there are so many cool things to do in Charlotte that we had trouble narrowing it down for our best of the city list. Watch car racing at the Charlotte Motor Speedway, visit the Carolina Raptor Center, and stay at the amazing indoor water park resort Great Wolf Lodge or another fun Charlotte hotel. Don't miss the Southern-style Charlotte restaurants, hands-on children's museums, and a peek into Southern history or the modern-day NASCAR obsession.

Read through our Charlotte Family Travel Guide for more fun things to do in Charlotte with kids during your next family trip.
