The ICONS Tour

Your family can explore the standout collections at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences with a knowledgeable educator leading the way. This guided tour spotlights the museum's most beloved exhibits and specimens, diving into the science and stories behind them. The experience runs about an hour and is designed for ages 12 and up—younger children can attend if accompanied by a registered adult. The group stays small, capped at 15 participants. Before you go, keep in mind that advance registration is required and ticket sales close one hour before the tour starts. General admission is $12 per person, though memberships are free. If you're interested in a private group tour for a team or corporate event, the museum offers customized options as well.
