CHANGING LIVES AND INSPIRING LEARNING THROUGH SCIENCE AND WONDER.
Turtles and tortoises face threats from habitat challenges and the international pet trade. You can help these reptiles survive and migrate safely in the new exhibit Turtle Travels coming Spring 2025! Play Turtle Migration in a giant board game. Track a hidden turtle using telemetry. See how shell shapes suit different lifestyles and habitats. Design a turtle-friendly housing development. Find out what a loggerhead sea turtle sees as it swims!
Our new Solar Tree charging station sculpture is making headway! Please excuse our mess as we make final preparations for this installation. Soon this will be a place where families and school groups can rest, eat lunch, and charge their devices with the power generated from the solar panels on our Solar Tree Sculpture! PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB ON THE SOLAR TREE!
We love the Science Center! I take my 2 and 4 year old boys weekly to play and enjoy the exhibits. The staff are wonderful and the classes offered are excellent! We are so blessed to have such an amazing resource in our area.
What a wonderful place to visit! Great environment to learn and the staff is very helpful! Hickory is lucky to have great family education and entertainment.
Fabulous and I don’t often give praise. We took our grandson and were there for hours. He loved it and so did we.
Took the kiddos and they loved it. Employees were nice and helpful. If your looking for something to do with the kids give this place a shot.
This place was great. We have kids from 8 to 1 and they all had a great time. What I really liked is most of the exhibits are hands on and that really kept them occupied.
