Marbles Kids Museum

Activity Overview

Marbles Kids Museum is a children's museum located in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina. It features a wide variety of hands-on exhibits and activities designed for children under the age of 10, as well as an IMAX theatre that shows films that are fascinating for visitors or all ages. Its fun exhibits encourage children to be creative and healthy, communicate, learn, and take care of the environment.

Take your child to Marbles Kids Museum and watch as they gleefully explore a miniature town, splash in the water, create their own machines and vehicles, and learn about science, math, technology, and art all day long!

Things to Do

• If you have a toddler, take them to the BB&T Toddlers Hollow exhibit, where children under 3 can explore a magical woodland setting filled with fuzzy creatures and beautiful pixies.
• Whether it's summer or winter, enjoy playing with water in the indoor and outdoor Splash exhibit. Highlights include a pirate ship, a garden, a submarine where children can do science experiments, and a lighthouse where they can learn which objects sink and float.
• The museum can be fun for teens too - just stop by the IMAX theatre to enjoy a family-friendly Hollywood blockbuster or an educational film.
