Unleash the Geek  

This is the field trip you've been dreaming about since your childhood and experience science the way you've always wanted at Discovery Place's Science on the Rocks.

You and your date will drink, dance and play the night away at Discovery Place. 

Go Exploring  

Whether you and your significant other are Charlotteans or are new to the Queen City, a tour is never a bad route and add Segways into the mix and you're guaranteed a good time. At Charlotte NC Tours you and your date will Segway throughout Center City on this two hour tour. The Markets, Museums and Parks tour lets you really get the most from your Segway ride while visiting more destinations and learning more about what Uptown has to offer.

Get Boozy  

Shake, sip and stir the night away with a craft cocktail class with Liberate Your Palate. You will receive hands on professional instruction with personal cocktail stations with bar tools.
