Carolina Skies 
A live seasonal program that explores and explains what is currently visible in our nighttime skies.  From planets to stars to constellations, visitors of all ages can learn how to identify features in our Carolina Skies.

Ice Worlds
The delicate balance between ice, water and the existence of life has been a topic of exploration and discovery in science for generations. In travels to the Arctic and Antarctic regions of Earth, we examine the ecosystems that live and thrive there and see how their survival is connected with our own. Beyond Earth, we see how the existence of ice shapes the landscape and the natural systems on other planets and moons in our Solar System.

In My Backyard
Children’s entertainer Fred Penner narrates and sings for this lively journey into his backyard, where we discover all sorts of things – colors of the rainbow, bugs, and spiders, the different seasons, the planets, the Moon, and the stars in the nighttime sky.
