Story Time at the Museum is a free weekly reading program for young children held in the Windows on the World classroom at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. What to Know: This program is tailored specifically for children ages five and under, making it a relaxed environment where toddlers do not have to sit perfectly still. Admission is free, and no registration is required. While the classroom is located near live animal exhibits, the program does not include hands-on animal encounters, so prepare your little ones accordingly. This is an easy, low-stress addition to your weekend plans because it wraps up by 11:00 AM, leaving you the rest of the day to explore the museum's dinosaur fossils or grab lunch downtown.
