Great place for family in Greensboro. The center contains 3 major sections: Aquarium , Wild Zoo , and Educational. The center is entertaining for all ages. I would definitely recommend it.

Sarah Diminich

Nice way to spend a few hours. Zookeepers were informative about the animals & ensured that their living conditions were studied to be safe. Bring the kids & the sunscreen !

The Junior League

The Natural Science Center opened its doors in 1957 thanks to the collaborative efforts of the Junior League of Greensboro, the Greensboro Parks and Recreation Department and community leaders.

Don't miss the discovery house or the main building basement . If you're looking for the anteater that used to swim around in the sciquarium , he lives in the discovery house now with 2 armadillos.

Mitch

Neat way to spend a day with kids. Nice aquarium and outdoor animal exhibits .

Nicole Bain

They've made a lot of additions to the Science Center over the past few years. You can spend a few hours here!

Mary Catherine James

This was such a great place! They have goats ! I got a goat selfie! She was sweet!

Chris & Nikki Files

Its a shame that $12.50/adult & $11.50/child, you would think they would have family friendly restrooms & a semi private area for breastfeeding moms after all its only natural just like the animals

Great animal exhibits throughout the facility. Go when it's warm to see the outdoor reptiles.
