From educational workshops and classes to curated field trips and summer camps, Discovery Place offers opportunities for visitors, students and teachers to take a deep dive into the world of science, nature and design.

Museum Programs

Across our Museums, adults and children are engaged in meaningful and educational experiences through a wide range of inquiry-based classes, workshops and labs.
 
Whether encountering a live animal, tinkering inside maker spaces or learning about anatomy, botany and computer science in our science labs, our programs inspire all ages.

School Programs

We empower students to explore the world, test new ideas and strengthen STEM skills through state-of-the-art labs, hands-on exhibits, and educational IMAX films.

Bring fun experiences to your school or community through Outreach! These specially curated programs are designed to meet group interests and educational requirements by aligning the curriculum with North Carolina and South Carolina state standards and Next Generation Science Standards.
