    Roper Mountain Science Center - Snakes!

    I can't believe that RMSC only has 21 other reviews! And shame on me for living here nearly 9…read moreyears and never checking it out until now. What a cool place for kids and adults alike! I was thoroughly impressed. I'm really just throwing my 2 cents in, because I'm sure I'm not writing anything new. Currently, they have the Wild Kratts exhibition on display. A lot of cool interactive things to learn from. There were definitely plenty of young volunteers; not sure what differentiated them from actual employees. One lady had a corn snake to show and educate on. The dinosaur trail was pretty cool. The concrete pathway could definitely use some repair though, because I can see that as a stumbling/falling hazard for kids, older people, anybody really. The butterfly enclosure is small, but I managed to attract a couple of winged creatures with the nectar stick; the boys did as well. Then there's the historic section - farmhouse, schoolhouse, and barn. The kiddos mined for a gemstone, milked a fake cow, and got to hold a chicken (don't think the hen was too thrilled though), but they're pretty docile. In another building they had a touch-and-feel tank for sea stars and rays, which was really nifty. Although, that always brings back scenes from "Finding Dory". Haha! We got to pet another snake and an Australian walking stick bug (think Indiana Jones and the Temple of Dooooooom!). One tank had a couple of large axolotls. There is just so much to see and take in; it's almost overwhelming. The free lunch for the kids isn't gourmet for sure, but it keeps them fueled up for the latter part of the day. Adults can lunch, too, but make sure you have cash or checks on you; they don't take plastic. There are two playgrounds; one on the dinosaur trail and another pirate-themed one. I can see how you can easily spend a whole day there and get your money's worth. I really want to go to the Hooper Planetarium and participate in Friday Starry Nights one of these days. It may really be worth getting a membership (120 - 1,000 USD). They also host summer camps and I heard that teens (who participate in a camp) can start to become volunteers at the age of 14 (pretty much my 9-year-olds current dream). Spring/summer hours are currently Tuesday - Saturday 10 am - 4 pm, with the exception of Friday evenings from 4:30 - 8:30 pm for aforementioned Starry Nights. They also host other special events throughout the year. The only gripe I had was that one of the restrooms stated that it had a changing table and even though I looked everywhere could not find one, which made it difficult to change my toddler. Whether you're young or old, if you love science, this is the place for you! Happy yelping!

    We visited this museum because we were in Greenville from out of town and saw it listed on the ASTC…read morePassport Program. I'm so glad we went! It wasn't as big as our science museum in Durham but it was still nice. We loved all the hands on exhibits, the cool snakes that were out, and the marine exhibits. It kept our 2 year old, 6 year old, and two teens perfectly happy and busy for a few hours. I wish they opened earlier because with little ones, you can't stay long because they get tired and need naps. Thank you for the wonderful outing! It would be worthwhile for those in Greenville to get the membership because you can use that membership at other science centers around the country. :)

    I've been a member at the Eastside Family YMCA longer than I've owned some of my furniture…read more I take the yoga-pilates class and I am, by any honest measure, still bad at it. My balance in tree pose has not meaningfully improved since roughly the Carter administration. Nobody has ever once made me feel bad about this. My instructor corrects my form, tell me to breathe, and move on, the way you'd coach a kid who's never going to make varsity but shows up anyway. Henry has played flag football, basketball, soccer, and t-ball here, and the youth sports program runs the way youth sports should: low stakes, high enthusiasm, coaches who are clearly volunteering their Saturday mornings and mean every word of encouragement anyway. I've watched him learn to actually pass a basketball on this court, badly at first, less badly now. The front desk doesn't need to remember my name. My card does that for them, photo and all, right there on the screen when I scan in. Still, they say it anyway.

    Very friendly staff nice atmosphere. A great place to work out meet friends love to play pickle…read moreball and meet new friends. Beautiful pool area.
