What parents say
Place was pretty cool. We have a 2 year old so we just experienced all of the visual exhibits. The Dinosaur exhibit was the highlight for my boy. He also liked climbing through the net bridge in the rain forest section. The frog exhibit and the aquarium was also a hit. He even got to pet a baby snake.
I had an amazing time at Discovery Place Science in Charlotte! This museum is full of interactive exhibits that make science fun and engaging for all ages. We got to touch a snake and sea stars, which was an unforgettable experience!
Lots of cool things, kept my 16-year-old and my seven-year-old attention and captivated the space was clean. Staff was helpful and friendly parking was OK. You also get a 25% off pass for your parking ticket. I’m assuming if you pay online I paid online.
We visited the Discovery Place Science on a Saturday afternoon. Buying tickets was easy to purchase online. I think the tickets are a bit on the pricier side. Everyone was very kind and helpful! The facility was clean! We enjoyed all the exhibits and everything was hands on experience.
Bringing a toddler?
