Ri~Ra isn't your everyday, run-of-the-mill Irish pub. This nightlife hot spot was actually once part of the officer's mess at the barracks at Dublin Park, so the Irish pedigree of this watering hole is unquestionably authentic. That authenticity is only augmented by the impressive collection of Dublin ledgers that date back to the 1800s. But, even though a weighty history anchors this charming place, the excellent beer selection and classic atmosphere make it a thoroughly modern favorite of visitors and locals alike.

Numerous natural adventures await at the Charlotte Nature Museum . Instead of "don't touch," the phrase of choice at this highly popular family venue is "hands-on"! These inviting surroundings make learning about nature fun, and the museum does an excellent job with various exhibits like the Great Hall that outlines the life cycles of various species. Other popular attractions are the Creature Cavern that spotlight animals indigenous to the Carolinas; the kids will also be fascinated by Insect Alley and Butterfly Pavilion as well as the various fun that awaits outside on the Paw Paw Nature Trail.

Need a good laugh but don't want to sit through anything offensive that might make you uncomfortable? Then you need to experience the fun and entertainment of the Family Friendly Improv Comedy Shows at Comedy Zone. The Charlotte Comedy Theater has been consistently making audiences laugh with some good clean fun for over ten years and they show no signs of stopping. Their quick wit, expert timing and truly hilarious antics are a real treat. In a world where anyone can be tasteless and have it be misinterpreted as comedy, it's nice to know that there's a troupe like the Family Friendly Improv Comedy Show that rises to the challenge of being respectful of its audience and still funny at the same time.
