NASCAR Hall of Fame

The NASCAR Hall of Fame is where legends live on. Where fun lives on. Where the race lives on. Enjoy amazing artifacts, interactive exhibits, simulator rides and special events at the High Octane Theater. Plus, you can grab a bite to eat in the NASCAR Hall of Fame Café or at the Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant. You also can take home a souvenir at the gift shop to help you remember it all.

This was something we walked by and decided to check out and it really exceeded my expectations. Some fun and interesting history on gold, coaches, ATMs, and Wells Fargo in pop culture. It also has some hands on activities for kids. A nice 20 to 30 minute, free museum in Charlotte.

The Green

Reviewed By ImportR06 - Florida, United States

This little park centrally located downtown is a well appointed oasis. The entry has bronze sculptured pillars set on classic novels. Excerpts in large print are “littered” across the park and give a whimsical feel to the serene setting of the park. I always find it a nice touch when cities are intentional about dedicating prime real estate to green areas and parks when it would be more lucrative to sell the property. Well done Charlotte!

Reviewed By 631lindau - Greensboro, United States

I went on Sunday, with very little traffic, easy parking garage across the street. Venue has wonderful facilities with windows into the arena area and easy registration desk to make a first-timer find resources quickly. The visitor center is small, but loaded with area activity brochures and a helpful host, easy access to local downtown sites and restaurants. Loved the free maps to downtown walking tours and highlights.
