Discovery Drop-In & Storytime

Bring your little ones to the Charlotte Brody Discovery Garden for a relaxed morning of stories and hands-on fun. Two story times run each Thursday morning—one at 10:30 and another at 11:30—held in the Story Circle. While you're there, your family can explore self-guided activities set up on the picnic tables nearby. This drop-in program runs weekly through mid-November, so you can stop by whenever works best for your schedule. There's no need to sign up in advance—just show up! The program is completely free, though standard parking fees apply. It's a perfect way to enjoy the gardens while your kids engage with nature-based learning and storytelling. For any questions, reach out to the gardens staff at 919-668-1701 or GardensEducation@duke.edu.
