More than a half-million people from all over the United States visit Discovery Place, its IMAX Dome Theatre and its 3D Theatre each year. Discovery Place also operates Charlotte Nature Museum, where guests can get close to wildlife, walk among free-flying butterflies, buzz by Insect Alley and explore nature at its unique location near Freedom Park, and Discovery Place KIDS in Huntersville and Rockingham, an innovative model in regional children's museums that explores the theme of "I CAN" and offers unique opportunities for learning through play for children and their parents or caregivers.
