Marbles Kids Museum Winter STEAM Exhibits, Splash & IMAX Theater

About this adventure

Located in downtown Raleigh, Marbles Kids Museum is an award-winning children's wonderland purposefully designed for imaginative play and hands-on STEAM exploration. When winter weather drives playtime indoors, kids can spend hours navigating two floors packed with immersive experiential zones. Little ones can build dams and launch boats in 'Splash!', step into kid-sized grocery stores and vet clinics in 'Around Town', engineer marble tracks and ramps in 'Idea Works', and crawl through sensory tunnels in 'Underbelly'. Toddlers have their own dedicated soft-play safe haven in 'Toddlers Hollow', while older siblings can test their balance on the giant 'Power2Play' indoor obstacle course or catch an educational nature documentary on North Carolina's only giant-screen Marbles IMAX 3D Theater. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Completely stroller-friendly with elevators connecting both levels; dedicated open stroller parking bays near the entrance and major play zones. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Private Nursing Nook with rocking chairs, soothing lighting, and power outlets; family restrooms with changing stations throughout. • Age Suitability: Tailored specifically for children ages 10 and under, with soft crawl areas reserved for infants and toddlers under 3. • Sensory Tips: High energy, vibrant colors, and buzzing ambient sound; sensory backpacks with noise-cancelling headphones and weighted lap pads available at the welcome desk.
