What to Do This Winter in Cabarrus County ❄️🏡
If you’ve ever wondered whether winter slows things down in Cabarrus County — I’m here to tell you it absolutely does not. One of the things I love most about living and working here is that there’s always something to do, even when the temperatures drop.
Whether you’re a longtime local, new homeowner, or thinking about making Cabarrus County your next move, here are some of my favorite ways to enjoy the winter season right here at home.
Why I Love Winter in Cabarrus County
Cabarrus County gives you the best of both worlds — a close‑knit community feel with easy access to Charlotte. Winter is a great time to explore because crowds are lighter, events feel more intimate, and you really get to experience the local vibe.
If you’re visiting or entertaining out‑of‑town guests, this guide is a great add‑on to your plans: 👉 TTop Attractions in Charlotte, NC in 24 Hours
My Go‑To Indoor Attractions (Perfect for Cold Days)
🏨 Great Wolf Lodge – Concord
This is always a hit with families — especially in winter. Great Wolf Lodge’s Snowland event brings the holiday spirit indoors with:
- A heated indoor water park (yes, even in winter!)
- Festive activities for kids
- Snowflake story time
- Visits from Santa
It’s one of my favorite recommendations for parents looking to burn off some kid energy without freezing outside.

🐠 SEA LIFE Charlotte–Concord Aquarium
If you’re looking for something fun and relaxing, SEA LIFE is perfect. Walking through the 180‑degree ocean tunnel and seeing over 5,000 sea creatures is a great way to spend a chilly afternoon — and it’s ideal for all ages.
🪂 iFLY Indoor Skydiving – Concord
Want to try something totally different? iFLY lets you experience the thrill of skydiving in a safe, indoor wind tunnel. I always suggest this for date nights, birthdays, or when you just want to do something memorable.
Winter is prime shopping season, and Concord Mills makes it easy. It’s the largest outlet mall in North Carolina and a great spot to:
- Knock out holiday shopping
- Grab a bite to eat
- Keep everyone entertained in one place

🏎️ K1 Speed – Indoor Go‑Kart Racing
If you’re competitive (or just love speed), K1 Speed is a must. The indoor electric track is perfect for group outings, family fun, or even a unique date night.
