Discovery Place Science
Science Museum · Charlotte, North Carolina
Charlotte's science museum, opened in 1981 in the middle of uptown, holding a rainforest conservatory, an aquarium, a large hands-on physics and engineering floor and the largest IMAX Dome theatre in the Carolinas. It is compact, urban and vertical - the opposite of Durham's sprawling outdoor site - which makes it the reliable rainy-day answer in a city that does not have many.
