Discovery Museum

One of the coolest museums I’ve ever been to.

My 5th grade honors science class went with several other schools from around the nation to this overnight thing they did. Even though there were probably over a thousand kids there, you got to do all sorts of cool activities. They had a pinhole photography thing where you got to make your own camera and take pictures and then a lifelike space station simulator where you and a team of other kids were assigned jobs like on an actual spacecraft and you performed them. I don’t really remember what else we did since it was a while ago, but it was fantastic.

I love this place.
Exibits are constantly changing, and are fun. It’s a great scientific learning experience, and the fish/rainforest are cool. The iMAX theatre is a must, especially now that it is showing full legnth movies.

This is one of a few domed iMAX theatres.

I’ve been a member, with my family, for fifteen years now. It never get’s old.

The Dead Sea Scrolls are in Charlotte until May 29th. I hope to see them before they are moved to another city. The trip would be intriquing and quite historical.
