What do you do when the temperatures in Charlotte, North Carolina are too high to allow you and your friends to enjoy some outdoor activities, but you are also too bored to stay at home? And if you are a parent, you know how hard it is to keep your family entertained when the heat outside doesn’t allow your kids to spend their time running around. Luckily, Charlotte offers a good number of indoor attractions for everyone, where the A/C makes the atmosphere pleasant while you have some fun with your loved ones.

Try Escape Room Challenges

When the temperature goes up, grab a few friends and bring them to an escape room. Escape rooms provide great fun for a couple of hours and luckily for you, Charlotte features countless establishments with different themed games. It’s engaging, challenging, and there are options for kids and teenagers as well. Exactly what you need when the park is not an option!

Visit the Charlotte-Concord SEA LIFE Aquarium

What’s best to visit on a hot day than an aquarium? Simply being near water will make you feel better when the temperature outside is hard to handle. The SEA LIFE Aquarium, located at the Concord Mills mall, has more than 5,000 sea creatures that wait to be discovered up close and personal. Adults won’t be bored at this aquarium, as everything here is interactive. Walk through an ocean tunnel, enjoy the Touchpool Experience, watch feed shows, and take an interactive quiz trail.

Bouncing Fitness at Sky Zone Charlotte

If you have an active child, you know that it will be hard to keep him inside even when it’s too hot to be outside. Why not take him somewhere he can burn all his energy while staying away from the unpleasant heat? Sky Zone is the first indoor trampoline park in Charlotte and is great fun for both children and adults. Adults can play skyslam, ultimate dodgeball, have fun in the foam zone, or participate in a skyrobics class. Kids will have their time of their life jumping up and down and playing with their peers. A visit to Sky Zone Charlotte will keep the entire family entertained and fit.

Have Fun While Learning at Discovery Place

Discovery Place Kids provides rich play experiences that allow kids to be creative and explore the world while staying safe and cool.
