At Marbles, we believe that children learn best through play and discovery. Our hands-on and minds-on exhibits are designed to build imagination through self-led exploration of new ideas and experiences. Our vibrant, kid-centric setting excites and empowers children to uncover new concepts, interactions and activities.
Your field trip to the museum can be entirely open exploration, or it can include a 20-minute animated MasterMind presented by a museum educator. MasterMinds engage students in an interactive presentation that complements and expands on one of our museum exhibit areas. MasterMinds and related materials are all aligned with the NC Standard Course of Study.
