The ICONS Tour

Your family can explore the NC Museum of Natural Sciences' most memorable exhibits and specimens with a knowledgeable educator leading the way. This guided tour highlights the science and stories behind the museum's favorite pieces, giving you a curated look at what makes the collection special. The experience lasts about an hour, making it a focused outing perfect for a Saturday morning. This tour is designed for ages 12 and up, with younger visitors needing to be accompanied by a registered adult. Tickets cost $12 per person (free for museum members), and spots are limited to 15 participants. You'll need to register in advance—ticket sales close one hour before the tour starts. It's a great option if your family wants a more in-depth experience than browsing on your own, or if you're curious about the stories behind what's on display.
