In Cabarrus County, accommodations are anything but average. Take your vacation to the next level at Great Wolf Lodge, one of the most exciting resorts on the planet.

Often thought of as “a cruise ship that lives on land,” Great Wolf Lodge boasts an indoor water park, mini-golf course, mini-bowling alley, arcade, ropes course, 3-D movie theater and a Build-A-Bear Workshop, all on-site. The resort is so jam-packed with attractions, you could spend weeks there without running out of things to do.

Motorsports Mania

Springtime is when the fun kicks into high gear at Charlotte Motor Speedway — from attending a NASCAR or NHRA race to taking a behind-the-scenes tour where you can drive on the speedway yourself.
