    This was a fun, engaging museum, even for this mom of a Nascar loving child! We spent four hours here & could have easily stayed longer. The architecture of the building and layout of the exhibits are creative and captivating. The interactive screens, pit stop experience, racing simulator, & much more bring the sport to life. This museum is a must see for all ages!

    I don't often visit science/children's museums, but I went to Discovery Place Science in Charlotte with my husband and sister-in-law (a teen) and we all had a lot of fun. I wanted to go specifically for the Ultimate Dinosaurs traveling exhibit, but the rest of the exhibits did not disappoint. Admission is a little pricey and costs even more at the door, so purchase your tickets online if possible. There is a lot of fun stuff to do, and I promise everyone will have a good time!

    Displays chart the 40 year history of this winning race team. Learned a lot about Rick Hendricks and the values that led to consistent success.

    Very interesting, we could have spent much longer there. Seeing “The Miracle on the Hudson” was fascinating even after watching it happen and seeing the movie. The tomcats and other fighter jets and helicopters were very cool.

    This was our first time visiting the mint museum. The museum is very large and has 5 floors. They have a lot of modern art. This is my new favorite art museum in Charlotte.

    Great place to go and get a thinking going. The museum is free. I think it's a great place for anyone, especially kids. Its presentations are rational and thoughtful, yet not hostile and controversial. After all, this is a museum for presenting things, not social media for ranting and raving. Well done.
