Science at Play
Join us for Science At Play, where science comes to life for even the littlest learners! Get ready for a morning of hands-on discovery where curiosity leads the way. Investigate ooey-gooey materials like slime, help build a collaborative city, explore the science inside your own body, and discover why science matters. The Museum will be open for regular exploration in addition to Science At Play activities.
Science At Play is proud to be part of the statewide NC Science Festival. This year’s theme, “Science Matters”, highlights the important role science plays in our lives, and Science At Play invites families to experience just how meaningful (and fun!) it can be.
