We watched little ones, teens, and adults playing the kettle drums, bells, and gongs together.

Business description (5)

The North Carolina Museum of Life & Science offers a number of interactive educational exhibits suitable for children and adults. Visitors can walk through a tornado, turn their movements into sound sculptures, and make contact with one of the largest butterfly conservatories on the American East Coast. The museum also features bear, red wolf, and lemur sanctuaries, and a forested tree house...

The North Carolina Museum Of Life And Science Inc is located at 433 W Murray Ave in Durham and has been in the business of Museum since 1946.

With an atmosphere like none other, the Museum of Life and Science provides a unique environment for discovery. Recognized internationally for its facilities and educational programs, the Museum is a great place for hands-on science exploration and fun.

A pleasure for children and parents alike, this internationally recognized museum provides an array of hands-on exploration and discovery exhibits, as well as an array of educational programs and learning facilities.

Walk through a tornado, experiment with water pumps and surround yourself in a giant bubble. Watch in wonder as exotic butterflies float by in the Magic Wings Butterfly House and feel a chill go up your spine as you visit with un-caged giant orb spiders. Home to an actual Apollo Command Module and Neil Armstrong's space suit, this museum makes the history of space travel come to life.
