Founded in 1947, Discovery Place Nature has been a staple in Charlotte’s education and cultural community over 75 years. The Museum conjures curiosity and activates the imagination through educational experiences that help people connect to the natural world. Guests can walk among free-flying butterflies in the Butterfly Pavilion, encourage imaginative play in Fort Wild, take a family trek through the 100-year-old trees on the Paw Paw Nature Trail and explore the stars in the Planetarium.
