For a new way to experience NCMNS download our app

The North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences is the largest museum of its kind in the Southeast. Through our exhibits, programs, and experiences, we provide you with the opportunity to get up close and personal with science and nature.

Our app gives you detailed information on what events & programs are happening on the days you plan to visit, and also allows you to bookmark the locations of exhibits you want to make sure you see. The interactive maps will help you find your way around and find all the best things!

The Museum's free guest Wi-Fi varies in strength throughout the Museum, but fear not: our app works completely offline too! So once downloaded, there's no need to worry about any data charges.

You can share highlights from your visit on Facebook, Twitter and more. Take a selfie and share your adventures on social media!
