My family and I have now been to 3 different halls of fame...NASCAR, baseball and basketball...and this was BY FAR the best.
I'll start off by saying that none of us are big NASCAR fans and my daughter can't even name a single driver, however we all loved it. There were so many interactive activities that time just flew by. Before we knew
it, we had been there for 3 hours and nobody was bored yet.
A couple of tips:
Go when they first open. It will be empty.
Stop by the Charlotte visitor center a couple of blocks away and ask for coupons. They will give you as many as you want for free simulator rides. (This normally costs $5/person/ride)
If you're a family, purchase the family pack. You'll have an option, with that, for food vouchers or lanyards to hold your card. The food voucher is worth about $10/person and the lanyard is worth about $1 and certainly not something you'll use after you leave. So...we opted for 3 vouchers and 1 lanyard so my 10 year old could have one. We had no itentions of eating there but figured we'd use it for at least a soda and some chips as a snack. You can get your hand stamped for re-entry so leaving for lunch is no big deal.
Speaking of the simulator...what fun! My family had a great time competing against one another and couldn't wait to race again.
A definitely "must do" when in Charlotte.
