Welcome to Marbles!
Play is how children learn best! At Marbles, play is fun and educational, with innovative hands-on exhibits, award-winning programs and larger-than-life movies. Come see us in downtown Raleigh.
Embark on a learning adventure in the museum. Imagine, invent and experiment in interactive exhibits that align with your curriculum.
-Around Town
Students take on the role of citizens as firefighters, journalists, farmers, paramedics and teachers. They cooperate and problem solve to provide services and explore how people live and work together.

Explore sustainability and renewable energy. Play around with solar, wind, and hydropower. Learn to take action and make choices that support a greener tomorrow.
-Hit The Trail
Students experience outdoor adventure inside, pretending to camp, kayak, and care for woodland creatures.
-ImagiFAB
Create, make, build, and animate! Students experiment with design as they construct, invent, and craft.

Using cranks, levers and pulleys, students work together to keep the electricity flowing through a pretend power grid. Students learn where energy comes from and how to use it wisely.
-Moneypalooza
Students explore how people earn and use money for goods and services in the pizzeria and pet shop. Money flows through the bank as students aim to save, make deposits and withdrawals.
-Power2Play
Students put their skeletal and muscular systems to the test! Shoot, skate, climb, dribble and balance. Pretending to cook from the My Plate table reinforces healthy nutrition.

In partnership with NC State College of Veterinary Medicine.
