Discovery Drop-In & Storytime

Bring your little ones to the Charlotte Brody Discovery Garden for a relaxed morning of stories and hands-on exploration. Two storytelling sessions run at 10:30 and 11:30 a.m. each Thursday, held in the Story Circle right in the garden. While stories are happening, caregivers and children can also explore self-guided activities set up at picnic tables nearby, so there's flexibility to join in whatever works best for your family. This is a free, drop-in program—no need to register ahead of time. Just show up during the two-hour window anytime between 10 a.m. and noon. Keep in mind that while the program itself is free, standard parking fees apply. The program runs weekly through mid-November, making it a great routine activity for fall mornings. For any questions, you can reach the gardens at 919-668-1701 or GardensEducation@duke.edu.
