The Greensboro Science Center consists of three popular family-friendly attractions (an aquarium, a museum, and a zoo), and it is one of the most visited tourist destinations in Greensboro.

The Carolina SciQuarium is the only inland aquarium in North Carolina, and it features a variety of water-dependent animals including sharks, stingrays, eels, otters, an anaconda, and a plethora of fish species. The Greensboro Science Center is one of the best things to do in Greensboro NC with kids. The Animal Discovery Zoological Park is home to a variety of mammals, reptiles, and amphibians, ranging from tigers and monkeys to crocodiles, tortoises, and a rare red panda.

The museum also boasts a selection of first-class exhibits and displays, including a giant 36-foot Tyrannosaurus Rex model, a Herpetarium with live snakes, and state-of-the-art OmniSphere Theater, which has a 40-foot dome ceiling with a 3D screen. The Greensboro Science Center also offers a wide variety of educational programs, science workshops, field trips, and camps for children of all ages throughout the year.
