Wander the large, new aquarium, walk the rainforest or have an eye-popping experience in the 3D theatre. The more adventurous can lie on a bed of nails or explore unseen inhabitants of the human body, or spend time in one of three hands-on labs where visitors find solutions using real science.'

Carowinds
'As one of the best theme parks in the country, it would be a shame to visit Charlotte and not stop by Carowinds! The Intimidator, the tallest, fastest, longest roller coaster in the southeast is the park’s 13th coaster. Inspired by Dale Earnhardt, this $23M coaster debuts as the largest capital investment in park history. Included in admission is Boomerang Bay, a 20-acre Australian-themed Outback oasis of wet fun. You can even relax in style at a private cabana rental with chairside service! Visit Planet Snoopy, a 12-acre children’s paradise that kids and parents can enjoy together full of fun, games, and plenty of Snoopy themed attractions.'
