Science Trivia is a monthly team competition held at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences that tests your knowledge of scientific discoveries, pop culture, and current events. It is a casual, lively evening where you can compete for prizes and bragging rights. This event is best suited for parents with teenagers or older kids who can contribute to the trivia answers. While the main museum exhibits close at 5:00 PM, the Daily Planet Cafe remains open for the event, offering food and drinks for purchase. It is a smart choice for a Thursday night outing because it combines education with a relaxed social atmosphere. You can grab dinner at the cafe, challenge your brain, and kick off the weekend early without spending a fortune.
