January 11, 2026, marks three incredible years at the Monroe Science Center, and what a journey it’s been! Time really does fly when you’re having fun exploring the world around us.
In just the past year, we’ve been thrilled to welcome:
- Over 23,000 curious guests through our doors
- More than 3,000 students from schools across North and South Carolina
- Over 1,700 community members who visited as part of organized groups, like their local church or company
- Nearly 1,000 birthday guests who celebrated science-filled parties with us
Every visit, question, experiment, and “aha!” moment reminds us how lucky we are to be part of such a vibrant and growing community. We’re incredibly grateful for your support and can’t wait to continue growing and learning together.
To celebrate and give back, we’re offering FREE admission to all guests on Saturday, January 17, 2026.
Hours: 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Last entry at 4:00 p.m.
Please note that capacity will be monitored, and entry cannot be guaranteed once we reach our limit.
We hope you’ll join us to celebrate three years of science, curiosity, and community. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Monroe Science Center very soon!
