Spending Swim Weekend in Christiansburg

Busy weekends at swimming competitions can be hectic. Between the travel, cheering for your athlete, finding a place to eat, and checking into the hotel, it's hard to find time to relax and enjoy the trip.

Luckily, competitions held at Christiansburg Aquatic Center are just minutes from family-friendly attractions and unforgettable experiences that make the Blacksburg, Christiansburg, and Montgomery County region a must-visit for folks across the country.

Start your day off the right way with caffeine and sweets from unique Christiansburg shops including Route 8 Donuts, Be Happy Acai, Brew Da Bean and Space Rabbit Coffee.

Take a break from the action at It's Game Time At The Superbowl. In close proximity to a variety of shopping and dining options in uptown Christiansburg, the NRV Superbowl is a great place to unwind with bowling, an arcade, laser tag, axe throwing, and more.

Climb to new heights at nearby Crimper's Climbing Gym. Anyone above the age of five can enjoy the state-of-the-art facility with world-class climbing features.

Take the kids to Wonder Universe: A Children's Museum in the Uptown Christiansburg Mall. Here, your kids will find fun, hands-on educational exhibits unique to the area's wildlife and scientific scene. While you're in the mall, swing by Paint 'n Fun Ceramics to bring out your creative side.

Need some fresh air away from the excitement? Take a stroll through our historic downtowns and take in brilliant local art displays.
