Catawba Science Center

CSC

Science Fun for Everyone

Description

A great place to explore the natural and physical sciences with the kids, the CSC offers hands-on activities and entertainment that promote learning for the whole family. They feature both permanent and traveling exhibits that focus on teaching visitors about science and technology as it relates to our present world. In addition to the exhibits, they offer homeschool and field trip programs, and have a great summer camp for kids who are interested in science. Some of the highlights of the museum include the outdoor Science Courtyard and the Naturalist Center, which houses a baby alligator named "Swampie," and a pink-toed tarantula. Make sure you check out what it's like to be a droplet in the water cycle, or experience the life of a professional musician by making your own music in a recording studio in the VR Xtreme virtual reality theater.
