The U.S. National Whitewater Center is one of those places in Charlotte we can truly call home. We feel like the little bee girl in the video for Blind Melon’s “No Rain” as she sees a whole field of people in bee costumes. Our Subaru Outback is at home in the parking lot. The activities call to us and push us outside our comfort zones. The food and craft beer selections make our taste buds sing. And the evening music brings a calm to the end of a hectic day. This place has so much to do, you need to set realistic expectations. Each visit, choose a few activities - and you’ll be enjoying something new for time to come. If your visit is a single day opportunity, just make sure you get out on the world’s largest artificial whitewater river.
The Whitewater Center is a non-profit outdoor wonderland that opened to the public in 2006. In addition to the famed man-made whitewater river, a $64 day pass can get you access to the flatwater kayaking, rock climbing, mountain biking, adventure courses, and zip lining. In 2019 they even added the area’s largest outdoor ice skating rink. Many single activities can be enjoyed for around $30. But the $6 parking fee is all you need for entry to evening music, year-round festivals, and holiday celebrations. That includes events like the St. Patrick's Green River Festival.
