The Charlotte Hornets

One of the newer NBA franchises dating back to 1988, the Charlotte Hornets are owned by arguably the greatest basketball player of all time – Michael Jordan. The North Carolina native is looking to bring the same success to his home state as he enjoyed in his college and pro careers.

The Charlotte Hornets play at the Spectrum Center in downtown Charlotte. Built in 2005, the arena gives the NBA fan a modern, energetic viewing experience while allowing opportunity to explore this beautiful, vibrant city.

Alongside mountain-biking and running trails, a climbing centre, an 1,100 ft Mega Zip line, flat water kayaking, eco trekking and a challenge courses, the facility’s unique feature is a multiple-channel whitewater river with class III-IV rapids for rafting and kayak enthusiasts of all abilities. The river is the largest of its kind in the world. New additions to the centre include two multiple-platform canopy tour activities involving zip lines and aerial challenges.


Levine Museum of the New South: The Levine Museum of the New South documents the rich history of our region through the award-winning permanent exhibit “Cotton Fields to Skyscrapers.”  Visitors can relive a civil rights era sit-in at a lunch counter and try on a hat in an early Belk department store. Changing and traveling exhibits offer a real and poignant view of the American South from the end of the Civil War to today. People of all ages will find the hands-on, interactive history educational and entertaining. It is the only museum in the country concentrating exclusively on New South history.

Launch objects into the air with electromagnetic forces, lie on a bed of nails, or crush a garbage can to get physical with physics. KidScience focuses on children under 5, and an expanded aquarium featuring a jellyfish tank will entice visitors to linger in awe.
