Catawba Science Center

Took my 14 month old here on a Tuesday morning… good thing is it wasn’t crowded, bad this was there were no other kids to interact with. It was ok, the place felt kinda old and dusty. I would come back on the free Friday but not gonna invest in a membership.

Great deal for families! Great aquarium, planetarium and exhibits.

A great place for an afternoon with the kids. They have a wide assortment of activities and projects for you and your kids to work on together. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the facility was clean and tidy. We had our son’s birthday party here, and they did a really fine presentation to our child’s group. We offered to even clean up after the party, and the presenter said she would take care of everything. I deducted one star as the facilities could upgrade some areas (some of their materials just looked a little worn). Much of this is a result of funding and donations, so I really can’t blame the staff for insufficient funds. But overall, a great experience, and I would recommend it.
