The ICONS Tour

Your family can explore the best exhibits and specimens at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences with a knowledgeable educator leading the way. This guided tour highlights the museum's most beloved displays while sharing the science and stories behind them. The experience runs for about an hour, giving kids and adults a focused look at carefully selected parts of the museum. This tour works well for older kids and teens (ages 12 and up), and any younger children must have a registered adult with them. You'll need to sign up ahead of time, and registration closes an hour before the tour begins. The group stays small—limited to 15 people—so everyone gets a good experience. Tickets are $12 per person, though museum members get in free. If you're already a member, this is a nice way to deepen your family's connection to the museum without extra cost.
