I loved this museum. There were lots of activities for the kids. The Magic Wings Butterfly house is a must see. Make sure you attend one of the daily scheduled butterly releases. I highly recommend it for adults and kids.

When I was a kid, we used to drive to the NC Museum of Life and Science as a special treat once a year. I loved it. So, 10 years later (I'm 25), I took my wife to check it out. We've loved going to science museums in various states (Cleveland and Seattle both have excellent ones!), and wanted to check out the one here in North Carolina.

Is a good way to spend some time with family and learn new things at the same time. There are so much variety to see.

So much to do, so much to see! Hands on, with plenty of variety including indoor and outdoor areas. My 2 and 4 year old grandchildren loved the "small science" area, were fascinated by the touchable cloud and tornado displays, and spent 20 minutes at the outdoor music-making area. We watched little ones, teens, and adults playing the kettle drums, bells, and gongs together.

We had a good time. The kids enjoyed themselves. I'd go there again.

We live nearby in Wake Forest, NC and had so much fun on our first visit in April that we purchased a membership. We have been back two more times. The kids always ask when we can go back. We were very impressed with the Cafe...the food was yummy! So many things to do. We can't wait for the new Catch the Wind exhibit to open.

With the new Grayson's Cafe at the Museum the Museum of Life and Science is a great place to go for an afternoon outing. While most people think of it as a children's museum, most of the exhibits are applicable and entertaining for adults, particularly the butterfly house, Explore the Wild and the soon to be open Catch the Wind. Stop off at Grayson's either for a tasty lunch, or just a cool drink and ice cream. I would suggest planning on doing the outside exhibits earlier in the day during the summer, as it gets blazing hot out there. But the animals, particularly the bears, will often surprise you by being very active at the hottest parts of the day, splashing and jumping in the pool just below the observation area. Other days they escape the heat in rocky overhangs at the back, but you can always find them with the cameras.
