ApronMama Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Any advice on fun stuff to do for kids? We are planning to spend some time exploring the Parkway, going down to SC to visit Cowpens and King's Mountain Revolutionary War sites, then over to Charlotte. Probably avoiding the Biltmore on this trip. Thanks for any advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazakaal Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 We used to always enjoy the Western North Carolina Nature Center near Asheville but haven't been there in years. Another fun day out is the beach area at Lake Lure. There are also boat rides on the lake. My younger kids really enjoy Hands On and Beyond in Hendersonville too.

higginszoo Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 There's another Children's Museum -- HandsOn! Just up the road an hour or less in Johnson City, TN that my dc really liked when they were younger. I agree with the Nature Center there in Asheville, too.

Candid Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Cherokee could be a day trip although I have a friend who lives near by and says do not go over the fourth of July as the casino draws in huge crowds and causes too much congestion. There's also the Great Smokey Mountains Railway that could be another day trip. I love to spend a day in Biltmore Village (outside the estate), but it is more an adult shopping sort of place. Flatrock is nearby and also has quaint shopping and Carl Sandburg's house. If you have a lot of books and someone who complains about that, take them to Carl's house for sure!
