Member Discovery Day – Leaves and Legends

Gather your family for a cozy fall evening at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. This members-only event invites families to enjoy seasonal activities including mini pumpkin painting and hands-on creative projects. The evening also features a fall-themed program suited for curious explorers of any age, making it a welcoming experience whether you're bringing toddlers or older kids. To attend, you'll need an active museum membership and must pre-register in advance—registration opens in August 2026. If you're not yet a member, joining before the event will get you in the door. The program is recommended for all ages, so the whole family can participate together.
