Tour Groups

One of the top hands-on science museums in the nation and consistently one of the top 5 most visited attractions in North Carolina, Discovery Place is a must-do for any group visiting Charlotte. Centrally located in uptown Charlotte, Discovery Place is steps away from many great hotels, restaurants and other cultural attractions.

Discovery Place is undergoing an exciting renovation that will bring all new interactive science and technology activities to the Museum in late 2009 and early 2010. These new experiences, including a 3D digital theatre and a large diverse aquarium, will make your tour group visit even more extraordinary.

Customized itineraries are available upon request.
