University of North Carolina at Charlotte Parent & Family Guide
Welcome to Charlotte
Look closely at Charlotte and you’ll discover a lot. Amid a growing cityscape, this destination delivers cultural distractions and attractions, dining and nightlife for every persuasion, and a Southern ambiance all its own.
Charlotte’s a city where Olympic-caliber adventurers rub elbows with culture mavens. A city that appeals to both NASCAR heroes and finance leaders. And a city where Northern newcomers exchange smiles on the street with Carolina natives. Visitors are sure to be just as captivated too.
Banking may have helped transform Charlotte, but its ways to play add to this city’s unforgettable appeal. A new rip-roaring coaster at Carowinds, some of the best retail therapy this side of Manhattan, whitewater rafting at the U.S. National Whitewater Center, and so much more to engage, excite, and exhilarate show exactly why Charlotte’s got a lot.
