    This was my first time really visiting the science center. I had been once before several years…read moreago for holiday lights, but didn't really get to explore the interior, or see the animals My wife and I went recently on a Saturday, and spent several hours exploring. I've got to say I was really impressed. It has things to offer young and old alike, it's very educational and amazing resource to have in Greensboro. In addition to the small aquarium they have a zoo, with a vast array of animals, a large outdoor play ground, as well as a ropes coarse and zip line that are an additional cost. I was really amazed by how much they had to offer. The science center is spread out over many acres, so it never feels to crowded. This is 100% I'd recommend people take friends and family visiting, especially if they have children with them. Staff we interacted with was very friendly, informative and helpful. Tickets are good for reentry on the same day, so if you decide to go get lunch elsewhere, you can still come back. They have a massive parking lot, so that should never be an issue. Just a great experience, lots of fun things to see and do. Go check them out!

    My husband and I took our grandson for spring break and honestly, we acted like big kids ourselves…read morethe whole time! From the moment we walked in, it was a wonderful experience overall. The highlight for all three of us was definitely the stingray touch tank, getting that close and actually petting them was so cool. And seeing the penguins up close? Absolutely amazing. There's just something special about watching a child experience these things for the first time. It took me right back to when I came as a kid, and getting to share that with my grandchild made it even more meaningful. The staff was consistently friendly and helpful, the temperature inside was comfortable, and the weather outside cooperated beautifully. We also appreciated how manageable the crowds were and parking was better than expected, we even snagged a front spot! The reason this is four stars instead of five comes down to timing and expectations. We visited during spring break, which is one of the busiest weeks of the year, and unfortunately several exhibits we were looking forward to, including the red panda, the tigers, and the meerkats, were not available. For a week when families, grandparents, and school groups are specifically planning around this visit, you would hope the full experience would be ready to go. It was a noticeable disappointment, especially for the little ones. That said, what was available was genuinely enjoyable and we will definitely be back, hopefully with the full lineup next time!
