Marbles Kids Museum, Children's museum in Moore Square Historic District, North Carolina.
The museum contains multiple interactive exhibits designed for hands-on learning, featuring zones dedicated to science, creativity, problem-solving, and physical activities.
Marbles Kids Museum emerged from the 2007 merger of Exploris global learning center and Playspace children's museum, creating a combined educational institution.
The museum incorporates educational programs promoting science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics through daily activities and structured learning sessions.
The facility operates from 10 AM to 5 PM Monday through Sunday, with extended hours until 7 PM on Thursdays, offering IMAX screenings throughout the day.
A two-story stainless steel wall grid contains over 1.2 million marbles, forming an architectural centerpiece that inspired the museum's current name.
