Nascar Hall of Fame for the Holiday Win

Holidays at the Hall is a perfect way for the whole family to celebrate the season in Charlotte.

This Hall is decked with thousands of white lights glittering over the plaza and a beautiful Christmas tree towering over the ice skaters, as Holidays at the Hall offers several ways to enjoy and celebrate the season. 

Holiday On Ice

Just because we live in the South, doesn’t mean you’ll never enjoy the fun of tying on a pair of skates for a spin around the ice. It’s one of the QC’s favorite holiday traditions ~ Uptown Charlotte’s outdoor ice rink at the NASCAR Hall of Fame Plaza. The rink is open almost every evening til 10 pm, (daily hours at the link) making it the perfect break from holiday shopping, gift wrapping, and streaming non-stop Christmas movies in front of the tv. Your get-out-of-the-house holiday ticket for a family outing, a romantic date night, a little physical exertion instead of sitting all night.

Skaters (and non-skaters) can have their pictures taken with the giant polar bear, under the tree or in the Ceremonial Garden decorated with thousands of glimmering holiday lights. Everyone can enjoy snacks and hot cocoa from the concessions hut. Admission is $12 for those that bring their own skates and $16 with a skate rental. Now through January 5, 2020.

Breakfast with Santa

The big guy is at the Hall for two days for Breakfast with Santa, on December 21 & 22 this year. This all-inclusive experience features a delectable breakfast, a visit and picture with Santa, crafts and reindeer games plus much more.
