The ICONS Tour is a staff-led guided walk through the most famous exhibits and specimens at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in downtown Raleigh. Over the course of an hour, an educator shares the science and history behind the museum's signature displays. What to Know: This tour is designed specifically for ages twelve and older, so you will want to leave younger siblings at home for this one. Tickets cost twelve dollars per person. The tour starts promptly at 11:00 AM on Saturday, so plan to arrive early to find parking in the nearby state government lots or the visitor lot on Jones Street. This is a smart weekend pick if you want to get your teenager out of the house for some educational screen-free time. It offers a deeper look at the exhibits than you would get wandering the halls on your own.
