CHILDREN'S FACILITY

Iredell Museums' kids@play facility at Signal Hill Mall is housed in a 1700 sq. ft. play space containing a wide variety of exciting exhibits that allow children to explore and express themselves individually or participate in group activities and lessons.

Rotating exhibits and programs lead children to discover themselves and others through spontaneous social interactions, tap into their curiosity and creativity and help teach respect for nature and all living things.

In an effort to enrich the county’s classroom, science exhibits and workshops are a focus of the museum. First introduced in 1998, science workshops continue to explore the field through inquiry and hands-on activities.

The facility is available for private birthday parties.

CHILDREN'S EXHIBITS

Art Zone and Touch & LearnArt ZoneThrough monthly rotating art projects, children are encouraged to experiment with a variety of mediums such as crayon, colored pencil, watercolor and more.

Touch & LearnThrough the use of problem-solving puzzles and musical instruments, children have the opportunity to increase hand-eye coordination and explore sounds .

Who R You?Who R You?A red costume barn and mirrors allow children and parents alike to utilize imagination and engage in their own production or role play of various characters. Children who previously did not know each other can often be found playing dress-up together, learning much about themselves and others through such spontaneous social interaction.

Exploration StationExploration StationChildren can enjoy live exhibits of fish and 12-year-old "Speedy" the garter snake (who "travels" around NC in various adventures) while learning about the various habitats and needs of each. Books are available on each specimen and children can touch "Speedy" when accompanied by museum staff and parents.

ChalkboardChalkboardLeave a mark. Children may draw, print, write or scribble to their heart's content on the wide open chalkboard spaces.
