Getting the Wheels Rolling

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for unique experiences that can entertain everyone from toddlers to grandparents. So when I heard about the Charlotte Family Tour featuring Rydables, I knew it was a must-try for our family. The idea of exploring Charlotte on these quirky, motorized animals was too fun to pass up!

Our adventure began with a quick training session to get us comfortable with our Rydables. My kids were thrilled to hop on their animal rides, and even my husband, who usually prefers his feet firmly on the ground, couldn’t resist the charm of these whimsical vehicles. The instructors were patient and made sure we were all set to roll around the city safely.

Once we were ready, we set off on our city exploration. The Rydables were surprisingly easy to maneuver, and we couldn’t stop smiling as we cruised through the streets of Charlotte. It was a delightful way to see the city, and the kids loved the novelty of riding their own little animal vehicles. It was a perfect blend of fun and learning, as we discovered Charlotte’s past and present in such a unique way.

Discovering Charlotte’s Gems

Our first stop was The Market at 7th Street, a vibrant food hall that offered a little something for everyone. We took a break to sample some local treats, and the kids were particularly fond of the sweet pastries. It was a great spot to recharge before continuing our journey.

Next, we rolled into Romare Bearden Park, an urban oasis right in the heart of Uptown Charlotte. The park was a beautiful place to relax and let the kids run around. The lush greenery and fountains provided a refreshing break from the city streets, and we took the opportunity to snap some family photos.

As we continued our tour, we ventured into the Historic Fourth Ward, where we marveled at the stunning post-Civil War architecture. The Rydables made it easy to navigate the charming streets, and we enjoyed learning about the history of this picturesque neighborhood. It was a wonderful blend of education and entertainment, keeping both the kids and adults engaged.

Art, History, and Racing Thrills

Our exploration took us to the Levine Avenue of the Arts, home to some of Charlotte’s newest museums. We learned about the architects and the history of the buildings, and the kids were fascinated by the stories behind the art. It was a great way to introduce them to the world of museums in a fun and interactive manner.

The Green was another highlight of our tour, where art meets language. We cruised through this artistic space, taking photos in front of iconic pieces of art. It was a vibrant and colorful stop that added a creative flair to our adventure.

Finally, we made our way to the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Even if you’re not a race car enthusiast, the unique architecture of the building is worth a visit. My husband, a closet NASCAR fan, was in his element, and the kids enjoyed the interactive exhibits. It was a thrilling end to our city exploration, leaving us with smiles and memories to cherish.

The Charlotte Family Tour with Rydables was a fantastic way to explore the city with the whole family. It combined fun, education, and a bit of adventure, making it a perfect outing for families looking to bond and create lasting memories. If you’re planning a trip to Charlotte, I highly recommend giving this unique tour a try!
