Science at Play

We had a wonderful time at Science All Around in 2025! Thank you to the sponsors, partners, staff, and guests that made this one of the most fun and interactive events around!

The Museum plans to host another science-based event during North Carolina's statewide Science Festival called "Science at Play"; stay tuned for more information about this year's event!
