I've done one of the experiences before at Ky Speedway run by a different organization. It was an exciting time, but it was no comparison to this. Organized from the beginning to the end. The one hour classroom instruction is very useful, even if you have done it before. The key statement the instructor made was that it is not necessary to let off the gas going into the turns. If you are not used that kind of driving, it takes a lap or two to trust that statement. The cars are built for the track, and will handle it with no problem. The cars are ex-cup cars or Xfinity cars. They have rev limiters to 5,000 RPM, so you can feel safe driving and be still get the thrill also. If you follow the instructions you can make the 150 mph club, which not a lot of people do. I did this with my brother-in-law. It is a lot more fun if you have friends who will participate too. If you want to experience the excitement of speed, doing it legally, this is highly recommended. Hint: it IS hot inside the cars, so prepare accordingly. And: the cars are not well suited to people who are 6 ft 5 like me. It's cramped, but still a blast.

My husband and I throughly enjoyed driving on the race track to see the light displays. We did not go to the Christmas Village, but the movie Home Alone was playing as we were driving. The Christmas lights were spectacular and unusual. Not the run of the mill light display. Definitely worth every penny. Will return if we’re in Charlotte next Christmas.

Came here due to a Groupon. Very friendly staff. I prefer sweet wines and they had a large selection. Decent pours of six selections and they added a seventh seasonal wine. Wound up walking out with three bottles and three blocks of cheese.

The Ford Mustang finally has a place to call home! Our mission is to showcase all facets of the Mustang world. We will have several Mustangs, from various generations on display, along with memorabilia, literature and collectibles from the Mustang hobby.

We took my father-in-law and the whole family to the museum and had a great time. The people who greeted us were very friendly and knowledgeable about each Mustang and its history. There were some very interesting and beautiful cars on display like VIN #10004 (the fourth Mustang that was built). It’s not a big and exhaustive display but very well worth the trip.

We are new to Charlotte. Every person we met at Sea Life was extremely friendly. The young lady who sold us our tickets and the gentlemen at the sea star touch tank were all kind and apt to teach. Austin answered our questions at the touch tank and took us on our behind the scenes tour, and we found him to be extremely knowledgeable and easy to talk with. We both feel that we learned so much and that we were exposed to some real underwater beauty. We’ll be back, and we will recommend this to anyone in Charlotte who’s looking for a place to experience ocean life.
