It’s no secret: Raleigh is red-hot right now.

But don’t hand over the iPad just yet. You’ll find weeks of cool, stimulating, hands-on activities for kids at Marbles Kids Museum.

Bounce around two full floors of curated exhibits, letting little ones:

  • Race boats down a 60-foot winding waterway
  • Grow crops as farmers
  • Care for animals at the vet clinic
  • Hit the ice for hockey play
  • Explore more themed exhibits and summer programming

It’s wall-to-wall wonders, all inside that sweet, sweet A/C.
