The Museum Untold Tour is a fast-paced, two-hour guided walk through the hidden histories and secret details of the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences exhibits. Led by knowledgeable staff, this small-group experience takes you beyond the standard placards to share the quirky stories and insider facts behind the displays. Since this event is strictly for ages 18 and older, you will need to leave the kids at home for this one. Tickets cost $25 for the general public and $20 for museum members, which includes a beverage at the Daily Planet Cafe at the end of the tour. Space is limited to 12 people, so you must register in advance. Park in the Green Square parking deck on Edenton Street, which offers easy access to the museum entrance. This is a fantastic weekend pick if you want a break from your usual routine and a chance to socialize with other local adults. It is a smart, indoor option for a September afternoon when you want to escape the late-summer heat and see a familiar Raleigh landmark in a completely new light.
