Museum of Life and Science

Located less than five miles from downtown Durham, the Museum of Life and Science is one of North Carolina's top family destinations. Its mission is to create a place of lifelong learning where people of all ages embrace science as a way of knowing about themselves, their community, and their world. Situated on 84-acres, this outdoor science park's immersive environment and two-story science center inspire curiosity, scientific thinking, and the desire for lifetime learning. The Museum is proud to be an accredited member of the Association of Zoos & Aquariums.
