2. Four Mile Creek Greenway
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 47 reviews
Reviewed By Manatee4Me - Charlotte, North Carolina
You can access the greenway from John Street just past the elementary school in Matthews, from Squirrel Lake Park and from a number of neighborhood entrances. I prefer the access at Squirrel Lake Park because it has ample parking, plus water fountains for people and pets, and restrooms. The pathway is wide, paved and well-maintained. It is suitable for walkers, joggers, cyclists, baby strollers, in-line skaters, people in wheelchairs. You can walk several miles if you want to. The only drawback is one common to greenway parks along streams: it floods during heavy rainfall. This leaves sand and mud across the path that make pushing a baby stroller or maneuvering a wheel chair difficult.
3. Carl J. McEwen Historic Village

Right next to the Mint Hill Farmer's Market is the Carl J. McEwen Historic Village, made up of several historic buildings, including the doctor's museum, schoolhouse (you can sit in the corner), assayer's office (you can pan for gold) and blacksmith's shop (not always open).
On most days when the market is open, there is something happening. Typically they have a demonstration of some skill, such as knife sharpening, panning for gold or a somewhat impromptu gathering of homemade instruments playing bluegrass music that is well worth a stop. Sometimes it is more current, with ham radio or something requiring electricity. Regardless, definitely worth a stroll back in time.
4. Elevation Church

Reviewed By PinkQueen1 - Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania
There are multiple campuses for Elevation. I recently attended their Code Orange Revival at both Lake Norman and their Ballantyne Campus (this is their broadcast location). The Holy Spirit was totally filling these sessions. I brought friends with me who have felt far from the Lord and re-dedicated their lives to Jesus. Steven Furtick is a gifted preacher and his messages are relevant, challenging and thought provoking. I usually watch online and talk about his messages with my business partners. I have to say that has never happened consistently from any other church I have attended. The worship music is phenomenal and how it is co-ordinated between satellite and broadcast location is seamless and inclusive to all. I would move to Charlotte just to attend any of their locations. I have visited their church 5 times now at various campuses and each time I felt welcomed and cared for.
5. Sun Valley 14

Living locally, I frequent this theater.
Things I love: price is very fair; discounts for students w/ ID, matinee, and Tuesdays are general discount.
Very large facility with multiple theaters. Choices of 3D, PDX +Dolby surround sound, as well as standard viewing options. The "hottest" movies playing are playing multiple times per day, and there is an excellent change if movie is sold out, you can catch it about an hour later with advanced purchase. If you've preordered tickets, or don't want to wait in line, you can use the kiosk inside. There is a ReWards card which you can earn points towards free things; I'm on my 7th free movie ticket! The interior is modern (theater is fairly new). Large selection of food choices and drinks. Cinema seating is tiered, so there is never a head in front of you! Seats are comfy, made of cushiony leather-type material. Arms lift up to snuggle with loved ones. Viewing is wheelchair accessible with seats reserved for family/friends/care givers with disabled.
This theater is located the "hot spot" of Sun Valley. Is is an excellent place to go single, dates, family, and friends for outing.

The Charlotte Knights are the Triple-A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox. The Knights play their home games in Uptown Charlotte, NC at BB&T Ballpark.

My family loves this ballpark, but not just for the ballgames. The ballpark is a beautiful fun venue for baseball, with an amazing view of the city skyline, good food and local beer. In addition, it is in a great location right next to Romare Bearden Park, a fun place to hang out and within walking distance of uptown's restaurants and bars.
7. Masterpiece Escapes
Overall Ratings
5 based on 7 reviews
You only have an hour to solve the puzzles and escape. The only tools available are the wits and creativity of your group. Can you finish in time. Escape rooms are immersive, themed experiences where you have an hour to solve the scenario. Much like games for mobile devices, only in real life.
Reviewed By javert001 - Charlotte, North Carolina
Having done a lot of escape rooms, when we pulled up and saw that this was attached to a TableTop store, we were not expecting much. Probably just another cash grab to get in on the Escape Room craze. Boy were we wrong! They only have one room up and running at the moment, but the room had a lot of cool features that we weren't expecting: a lot of tech and variety of puzzles/challenges. Honestly we were expecting a room with linear play and just combination lock after combination lock, but that completely wasn't the case. I would definitely recommend checking this place out. The owner was nice enough to give us a preview of their new room and it looks just as amazing. Go check them out!

Reviewed By CharlotteDayTripper - Charlotte, North Carolina
Wonderful place easily able keep our 5 year old occupied for several hours. Story time at 10:30 was excellent, as were the educational computer games. Several interesting things to grab the kids attention and they were able to interact with other children. Nice for moms too. Free parking underground. Bonus is that it's next to City Market - fun for the adults too.
9. Matthews Heritage Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 6 reviews
Reviewed By Darryl P - Warner, New Hampshire
Matthews has a history that has been tirelessly been dug up and now presented to the public through the efforts of Paula Lester and the Matthews Historical Foundation. The Matthews Heritage Museum is bound to become a destination for local school kids and for those interested in the histories of small towns in North Carolina. Open on Thursdays, Friday and Saturdays (as of this writing), a visit to the museum can be combined with a casual walk around town, a trip to the Farmer's Market, a visit to the library and a meal or coffee at one of several options near the museum. It would be very easy to make a morning or afternoon of a visit. If you have a large group, I suggest you call ahead and plan with the staff as it is a smaller location and you may need help coordinating the visit.
10. Trail's Dynasty Miniature Golf

Reviewed By bluemnm910 - Indian Trail, North Carolina
This is a wonderful place for couples or families to enjoy an evening or afternoon out. The course is kept up nice and there are some challenging holes. After playing a round or two they have a wonderful sitting area to enjoy the Hershey ice cream sold there. They also have other items to purchase as well. The staff is always friendly. You can even book the place for your church group or birthdays etc.
