Upon entry I noticed a manned coffee station, and hadn't seen this previously. You will still need to check in with the front desk for a parking pass to place in your car. I appreciate that the end of each exhibit there are cards to share your thoughts and experience. Be mindful they may not allow you to record the art but you can take pictures without flash.

You could definitely take a few hours to go through this museum and still have more to see. Some of my favorite exhibits were the huge wagon display, the exhibit on O. Henry, and the area dedicated to local commerce. I didn't know that replacements, inc was local - even though I enjoy fine tableware and am in Facebook groups where that company is talked about a lot. We also had a lovely moment where we were very clearly interested in one of the room replicas and a museum staff member who was on his way out came over and shared a bunch of supplemental info. He was so into his job and sharing about the exhibit, and that is a great sign for a museum when people are passionate about their work. I definitely feel more connected to the area after visiting. Great spot, and I'll be back!

I had no idea this place existed until I was doing a dive on internships and this place popped up…read more I instantly wanted to visit because I'm a history nerd. This place is much bigger than I could've imagined. It was 3 floors full of interesting facts. There were exhibits of local Guilford County History as well as US History and NC History. From historical pictures and antique fire trucks to clothing for different time periods it has a little bit of everything. In one area of the museum they have it set up as a town main Street where you can enter the movie theater, drug store, a one room school house, and even a hotel that was once in the area. Inside these "buildings" were different interactive exhibits including an antique switch board where you could listen to different conversations. If you're stir crazy from all of the snow or just want to experience something new and full of historical documents this is a great place to stop in.10/10 recommend

This was my second time visiting a selfie museum. It was very different from my previous experience…read moreand I was a little skeptical, but I ended up enjoying it very much. I will say that next time I will take a ring light and tripod set up because it was very difficult to get some of the pictures that I wanted to get. It was nice to have someone leading us through the different spaces and giving a time limit because I found in my last selfie museum we ran out of time and didn't make it around. It was definitely a fun experience for my daughter and her friends! They have an ad on service where you can receive mini Polaroid pictures throughout the experience. This is a $20 add-on for 10 pictures. The pictures are not great quality but the kids loved them. It is a little pricey, so I suggest looking for coupons. I scored a black Friday deal and was able to book at half price, so I went ahead and booked at their other location as well! I am looking forward to my next visit but I will definitely be prepared with a ring light and tripod.

There is a extra cool hidden passage that takes you to your first set of rooms. This place is strictly for taking selfies in each room, nothing else. There are about 9 rooms total not including the lobby. There is an attendant who follows you through the rooms and ensures you follow the rules, which is totally cool and also to keep track of your time in each room. The one thing that dropped my stars was the choice of music they had over the speakers. I was with a 12 yr old and every song was riddled with curse words. Now, I'm not a stick in the mud, but it was soooo uncomfortable walking through there with loud "fs" and "s" words being shouted over and over. I'm sure they could play those songs and have the clean version played or just select universal songs. It definitely limits the type of clientele. If I return, it will most likely be with adults only. Be wary taking small children there. I will say, every room was sooooo cute and creative. I was blown away by the detail. They practice social distancing. You may have to scoot past the next group when you exit, but it's no biggy.

The International Civil Rights Center & Museum is located in the heart of Downtown Greensboro. It…read moreopened in 2010. The museum offers guided, self-guided, and virtual tours if you can't make it to Greensboro. I've done the guided tours and the self-guided tours. With the guided tour, you are provided with background information as you go through, and directed to specific things in each gallery. With the self-guided tours, you start with a video overview of what you will see in each gallery, then you go through the museum at your own pace. One tour isn't better than the other; it just depends on what you prefer. This museum is special in that it is located inside the 1929 F.W. Woolworth building, where the 1960 sit-ins at the lunch counter began. The L-shape lunch counter and the 69 stools remain where they were in 1960. This is where you first enter the galleries. Standing in front of the lunch counter where history was changed is unforgettable. The late Phil Freelon and his firm, the Freelon Group, handled the historic renovation and turned the building into a museum. Eisterhold Associates designed the interactive exhibits. The renovation and preservation made sure that many of the 1929 features remained. From the terrazzo floors to the plaster coffered ceilings. to the lunch counter, to the original stools, to the art deco stairway, to the basement, to the exterior red and gold Woolworth sign. The original dorm furniture is located in the basement. It was the planning room for the NC A&T students. The Hall of Shame is also located in the basement. It is very graphic and difficult to view, but it is so important to see these images, as you will never forget them. Segregated Greensboro shows the segregated signs and vending machines, advertising and The Green Book. The churches played a vital role in the Civil Rights Movement, as this is where they planned. Freedom Songs helped build courage before protests. There are interactive exhibits, and you can try a literacy test to suppress voting. The museum shifts from the dark side to successes. You will see mugshots of 1,200 peaceful protestors. Most of these are from other protests after the sit-ins, paying tribute to those who fought for equality. You can read about the legal triumphs after the sit-ins. After reading about other protests in the country, make sure to read through some of the names on the Wall of Remembrance, especially those you haven't heard about before. The last gallery has many black-and-white, tile-sized photos that form a mosaic of President Obama. They represent the power of community. It is a reminder that everyday people can bring change. Photography is not allowed in the museum galleries because much of the content is copyrighted. I take a lot of photos, so this was initially a challenge. But after a while, I just got so immersed in the exhibits.

I've got to say I was really impressed. It has things to offer young and old alike, it's very educational and amazing resource to have in Greensboro. In addition to the small aquarium they have a zoo, with a vast array of animals, a large outdoor play ground, as well as a ropes coarse and zip line that are an additional cost. I was really amazed by how much they had to offer. The science center is spread out over many acres, so it never feels to crowded. This is 100% I'd recommend people take friends and family visiting, especially if they have children with them. Staff we interacted with was very friendly, informative and helpful. Tickets are good for reentry on the same day, so if you decide to go get lunch elsewhere, you can still come back. They have a massive parking lot, so that should never be an issue. Just a great experience, lots of fun things to see and do. Go check them out!

The highlight for all three of us was definitely the stingray touch tank, getting that close and actually petting them was so cool. And seeing the penguins up close? Absolutely amazing. There's just something special about watching a child experience these things for the first time. It took me right back to when I came as a kid, and getting to share that with my grandchild made it even more meaningful. The staff was consistently friendly and helpful, the temperature inside was comfortable, and the weather outside cooperated beautifully. We also appreciated how manageable the crowds were and parking was better than expected, we even snagged a front spot! The reason this is four stars instead of five comes down to timing and expectations. We visited during spring break, which is one of the busiest weeks of the year, and unfortunately several exhibits we were looking forward to, including the red panda, the tigers, and the meerkats, were not available. For a week when families, grandparents, and school groups are specifically planning around this visit, you would hope the full experience would be ready to go. It was a noticeable disappointment, especially for the little ones. That said, what was available was genuinely enjoyable and we will definitely be back, hopefully with the full lineup next time!

I've been…read morewith the grands to the Science Center many times, and today was my first visit with them to the Greensboro Children's Museum. They have carefully and creatively designed areas for the children to explore. I was impressed that some of them are designed for the 5-year-old + crowd to create things to make them work, such as a movable pipe system to create paths for balls to go through. There were so many hands-on activities for the kids. A grocery store, pizza parlor, Postal Service, and Medical Center, are all designed to let the kids pretend to their heart's content. Kids seemed to love the transportation area, will full-size police car, fire truck, mail truck, EMS, and my personal favorite - the NASCAR race cars. The final area we visited (my son-in-law knew to make it the last thing) was the waterworks play area. Very clever water activities for all the kids and wisely placed dryers to dry wet hands (maybe some shirts as well!) Since it was December and chilly we didn't explore the huge outdoor activity area. Very nice museum for the kids!

A Greensboro Classic, Fun for Kids and Adults Alike!…read more I've attended a few of the adult-only events (On-Tap, 90s Night) and a couple of standard visits to the Miriam P. Brenner Children's Museum, and they are always such a treat! It's so much fun to explore the exhibits without kids around and enjoy the playful, creative atmosphere. The museum was the first children's museum in the Triad and still features some of its original exhibits -- including the iconic big red chair, which is a total photo favorite! During regular hours, the museum is perfect for kids ages 0-12, with hands-on learning and interactive play spaces that spark curiosity and imagination. But my personal favorite -- the Neptune Climber XXL -- is definitely for all ages! It's an amazing structure that brings out everyone's inner child. I mean it is 2 stories high. The staff is friendly, the events are well-organized, and the museum continues to be a special part of Greensboro. Whether you're bringing little ones or attending an adult night, this place never fails to bring smiles and good memories.
