The large Splash water dynamics science station allows toddlers and school-aged children to wear special waterproof aprons and explore fluid mechanics by turning water valves, manipulating buoy dams, and guiding small boats. There's also the Seedlings padded crawling exploration garden specifically for infants under 3, offering safe, edgeless educational blocks and tactile learning toys. The entire museum has accessible elevators, making all exhibits easily reachable with strollers. A dedicated stroller parking area is available in the lobby. Every restroom is equipped with an antibacterial changing table, and a quiet, private nursing room (with power outlets for breast pumps, soft nursing chairs, and warm water for formula) is located on the second floor. Suitable for children ages 0 to 10. ## Similar picks in Raleigh - [United Skates Kidz Bop Skate](https://grassyknees.com/raleigh/activities/united-skates-kidz-bop-skate--listing-065b619a709876ccf7826257) — Sat, Nov 14 · 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM · United Skates of America Raleigh · From $14 · checked Nov 10.
