North Carolina Museum of Natural Science

Another great museum to visit in Raleigh, North Carolina.  Lots of hands-on exhibits.  They have great displays of animals native to North Carolina.  And best of all.....it's free admission to anyone!!

 This special exhibit was extra, but it was fun and worth it.
