I enjoyed my visit to the museum. They have a parking deck next door which gives you 2 hours of free parking. It was nice but it did make us watch the clock while we were there. They have a lot of interactive and touchable exhibits. There is a lot of history about Charlotte and the surrounding areas. I liked the Belk exhibit the best. They have a temporary exhibit but it was in transition during our visit so our tour fest a little short. It is less exspensive than other museums and I was able to gt a teacher discount.
