Area Attractions

Greensboro is a blast in the summer time! While you will have a great time at the USA Youth Outdoor Track & Field Championships, be prepared to have some fun while visiting Greensboro. Summertime is filled with ball games, water rides and all kinds of family-fun activities. The Greensboro Grasshoppers play at First Horizon ballpark in downtown, just minutes from the track. You'll have a big splash at Wet n'Wild Emerald Pointe Water Park with 45 acres of wet fun. There are over 30 water rides to enjoy including a giant tsunami – the park is open into the evenings and is conveniently located right off of Business 85 at Holden Road. Celebration Station will entertain the whole family with miniature golf, go-carts, water bumper boats, arcade games and batting cages. Greensboro area parks include picnic shelters, tennis and volleyball complexes, playgrounds, miles of hiking and biking trails and tons of beautiful gardens. You can also learn a lot about the history of the area at the Greensboro Historical Museum, Natural Science Center and Children's Museum.
