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 story times run back-to-back at 10:30 and 11:30 a.m. in the Story Circle, giving you flexibility to join whichever session works best. While the stories are happening, caregivers can also set up at the picnic tables nearby with self-guided activities designed for young children to enjoy alongside their grown-ups. This is a casual, no-pressure event—there's no need to register ahead of time. The program runs every Thursday through mid-November, so you can make it a regular outing or drop in whenever it fits your schedule. Admission is free, though standard parking fees apply at Duke Gardens. For questions or more details, reach out to the gardens education team at 919-668-1701 or GardensEducation@duke.edu.
