Unseen Oceans exhibition—open now
Earth is truly an ocean planet. More than 70 percent of the Earth’s surface is covered by oceans, yet surprisingly little of these vast realms has been explored—until now. Using 21st-century technologies like robotics, satellite monitoring, miniaturization and high-definition imaging, ocean exploration has embarked on a new age of discovery. Dive in this summer!
As a benefit of your EBT or WIC card, you can visit any Discovery Place Museum as part of our Welcome program for only $1 per person per visit. Welcome visits do not require advance reservation—simply show your benefits card at the Admissions Desk to receive $1 admission for up to six family members. Purchase your tickets on the day of your visit at the Museum for entry while the Museum is open, 10:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Welcome participants may also purchase discounted parking for $8 per vehicle.
Welcome program benefits are for NC and SC residents only and may not be used for school or group visits. Some special exhibitions will require an additional fee. ID is required.
