Uptown Charlotte's hands-on science museum covers everything from a rainforest exhibit to an aquarium and an IMAX dome theater, aimed squarely at kids but genuinely fun for adults too.

Know before you go

  • The IMAX Dome Theater runs rotating science and nature films, worth checking the schedule ahead
  • It's an easy pairing with the NASCAR Hall of Fame a few blocks away for a full Uptown museum day
  • Discovery Place also runs a smaller nature-focused location and a kids-only spot elsewhere in the city
