Parents’ Pro Tip: Marbles Kids Museum is open for summer play seven days a week.

Beat the summer heat with:

  • Two floors of innovative hands-on exhibits
  • Themed programming
  • IMAX Theatre featuring 3D movies (Raleigh’s only certified giant screen)
  • 65-foot-long water table
  • Hockey rink
  • Play in a kid-sized town + more

Marbles is open Monday - Sunday, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m., and Thursday until 7 p.m. Snag half-off admission Monday-Friday after 3 p.m. Advanced admission is recommended.

Parents, plan your visit
