“是的周末!’ This Cabarrus County 行程 Makes Kids the Stars of the Show

感觉很幸运? Start your family’s Yes Weekend by testing your luck while panning for treasure at 芦苇金矿. In 1799, a 12-year-old boy found a 17-pound gold nugget in this very spot (which was America’s first documented gold discovery!). Even if your kiddos aren’t quite that lucky while panning for gold, they’re sure to leave with lasting memories of exploring underground mine tunnels. There’s also an on-site gift shop that makes sure everyone can leave with a treasure of their own.

出去吃烧烤大餐 Mt. 愉快的熏制房. 这家家庭餐厅有烧烤, 肋骨, chicken and brisket — along with familiar favorites like burgers and hot dogs. A kids’ menu offers the classics, like corn dogs and grilled cheese. Enjoy your feast and don’t worry about doing dishes — after all, 这是成年人的周末活动, 太.

停在 芒特普莱森特的面包店 隔壁吃甜点! 以美味的方式结束一天, it’s housed in a beautiful downtown building built in 1912, and its bakery case will have something to make everyone smile. (Pro tip: Get cookies to go for a Friday afternoon snack.)

让孩子们决定骑什么交通工具——自行车, 踏板车, 滑板, 脚-踏上冒险之旅. 去骑山地自行车 棕色的机 just outside of even more fun in downtown 康科德, or visit 弗兰克·利斯克公园 在康科德. 四月至十月的周末, you can rent paddle boats here to turn your land excursion into an aquatic escapade on the lake.

After such a full, active morning, it’s time to settle in for a movie and some popcorn. 不仅是 宝石剧院 周围有最好的爆米花, but this historic single-screen theater offers affordable tickets and concessions. 成人票5美元，糖果只要1美元.

While in downtown 北卡罗来纳州, stock up for family fun night. 访问 詹姆斯甜蜜点 to pick up everything you need for a low-key family night at home. 这家商店, conveniently located right across the street from Atrium Health Ballpark, 卖各种各样的糖果, 以及挑战所有技能水平的谜题. Grab a few and bring them home for a future Yes Weekend.

有什么比Friday晚上去棒球场更好的呢? 看到一个 卡纳波利斯炮弹队 中庭健康棒球场的比赛, one of the country’s most beautiful minor-league stadiums (Ballpark Digest named it the 低a职业棒球联盟最佳棒球场 in 2021). 如果小孩子(或大孩子), 甚至在比赛中也会有些焦躁不安, 棒球场有步行道和20号跑道,000-square-foot Kids Zone to blow off a little steam between innings.

新鲜出炉的肉桂卷! 咖啡蛋糕! 为什么不呢??布朗尼蛋糕和纸杯蛋糕! Some days, you just need to start your day with dessert. 卡巴拉斯县提供大量的 尽情享受甜食的地方 一天中的任何时间. 早上在 OMG甜甜圈 with fluffy confections like apple fritters and filled-to-order jelly donuts.

Take the kids for a lap around the area’s most famous track at 夏洛特赛车场. 你可以坐。 快速通行证游 在你自己的车，引导你在赛道上, 你的孩子可以去看纳斯卡的车库, 媒体中心等. At the end, you and your crew can get your picture taken at Winners Circle. Availability is limited, so be sure to check dates and 提前预定行程.

我想要开车? Check out activities like the NASCAR Racing Experience for 开车或骑车的机会 in a real race car, or race indoors at K1 Speed with their all-electric go karts.

签到到 大灰狼小屋 为了孩子们的终极友好过夜假期. The kids can splash around the 84-degree indoor water park and its four-story water fort treehouse. They can use their own special wand to turn the lodge into a magical quest. Then the whole family can bowl at the mini-bowling alley, suitable for toddlers through adults. 等孩子们在客房安顿下来, they’ll have had a week’s worth of adventures behind them — and a long night of sleep ahead.

Linger at 大灰狼小屋 to take full advantage of its amenities. 有人想打迷你高尔夫球吗，然后再去游乐场? Plus, it’s a safe bet the kids will want more time on the water slides (and you might, 太). 如果你想带点纪念品离开, head over to the on-site Build-A-Bear Workshop to create a new furry buddy.

从大灰狼小屋驱车5分钟到 海洋生物水族馆. The whole family can get up-close views of sharks, turtles, rays and tropical fish. The aquarium has the only 180-degree underwater ocean tunnel in 北卡罗莱纳, which offers the kind of underwater views that typically require scuba gear.

海洋生物水族馆位于康科德米尔斯, 北卡罗莱纳’s largest outlet and value retail shopping center! Before heading home, take time to explore everything from 200+ stores, Dave & Buster 's, Speedpark等等.
