Mountain Science Expo

Join us for a free STEM-oriented science festival where you can interact with scientists, explore nature, and grow your curiosity! The Mountain Science Expo is a part of the larger NC Science Festival, a state-wide and month-long event dedicated to celebrating the impact of science educationally, culturally, and economically on our state. The NC Science Festival and the Mountain Science Expo hope to inspire children to pursue—and adults to support—the sciences, such that North Carolina can lead the country and the world as a place of innovation and learning. The Expo will feature live animal presentations, exhibitors from across the region, special interactive activities, and more! It takes place in both of The North Carolina Arboretum’s main buildings and through the gardens. Rain or shine, the Mountain Science Expo takes place fully within indoor or covered spaces at The Arboretum!
