| - Is there any quick, direct route here from Charlotte? I think not, which is the only drawback. We were back and forth over the NC/SC line what felt like a dozen times before we arrived. Otherwise, this is a total gem: one of the best activities in the Charlotte area. Beautiful, manicured gardens and water features - great for anyone, really, but a nice place to walk around with little kids. Behind that, there is an enormous "wilderness" area where kids (and everyone else) can run around, and which is absolutely breathtaking. On Mother's Day, when we were there, they had live classical guitar and carriage rides. For those without kids, this would be a nice romantic spot, or a nice space in which to lounge around and read or think in nature. Everyone working at the place was very friendly and helpful.
