We stopped by the park to see the Lake and realized they had several walking trails. Very nice! Also there are tennis trails and playgrounds. We had an enjoyable walk. Very clean with lot of picnic tables and grills. Very lucky to have this area in your town.

Wonderful culinary/walking tour of Davidson. Our tour guide Teresa gave the history of the town, the college and several homes and church's as we walked. The restaurant owners were gracious -and served generous samples. Come hungry! We started at Brickhouse, then walked to The Famous Toastery, The Soda Shop, South Main Sweet Shop, Fuel Pizza and finally ending at Campania. Thank you Teresa!!

I took my little nephew to the Discovery museum last week and he had an absolute ball! It is very similar to the Children's museum in Denver and features lots of hands on activities. He particularly liked the submarine - keeps talking about "driving" the sub. I thought that Aunt Sarah's attic was a very clever concept. Wasn't at all crowded and the museum's 2 floors were well laid out. Highly recommend.

The Village Store

Reviewed By Anne M - Hendersonville, North Carolina

My husband and I were visiting friends in the area over Thanksgiving and they brought us to Davidson for lunch and some Christmas shopping. Us girls really enjoyed this store which was really busy, but loving all the great gift items for Christmas as well as all year round. When paying for items, the staff was very happy to gift wrap Christmas presents. Will definitely be coming back the next time we are visiting.

We love this place so much that we can't abide those movie multiplexes anymore. There's beer and wine, easy parking and real food. Plus they have easy rolling chairs and tables that you can position for your comfort.

Duke Family Performance Hall

Be prepared to be entertained. The theater can host a variety of performances from Broadway to intimate solos. The design is top of the line caliber, acoustics are perfect & there's not a bad seat in the house. Down side, parking is horrible

Davidson Farmer's Market

Reviewed By spengle1 - Davidson, North Carolina

We live within walking distance and, therefore, walk into town frequently on Sat. mornings to enjoy the ambiance, meet friends and shop for fresh produce (and whatever other items intrigue us. The sellers and the customers are friendly, chatty and fun to be with. Selections are diverse and high quality (if a bit pricey). It is rare to wander through the market without meeting people we know or introducing ourselves to new folks.

No matter how you cut it. Beautiful, sunny, calm lake waters, numerous inlets to explore, many with port side dining opportunities. Boatside fishing and 95 degree temp swimming, floating or soaking. Boating, skiing, tubing, kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding to name a few. Jump on in, the water is fine.

Ass Clown Brewing Company

A cozy atmosphere with unique flavorful brews. Usually have 31 beers to pick from...

Reviewed By Andrea M

Very friendly employee behind the bar today serving good beer in a casual, eclectic atmosphere. Plus, the name alone is entertaining and makes for great swag (which is very reasonably priced). It's kind of in an industrial park so looks blah on the outside but inside, it looks like a randomly decorated shed, and I mean that in a fun way. Small, relaxed atmosphere. Hubby says the craft beer was good too.
