Abstract:
Discovery Place in Charlotte is one of the country's newest science and technology museums. Fifteen years in the planning, the museum opened on October 31, 1981. Over the past two years, the museum's hands-on approach has attracted over a half a million visitors. Among the exhibits are the Ocean Pool, which features sea life native to North Carolina; the Trading Post, where visitors can bring their own collectibles for identification or possible trade; and the Knight Rain Forest, where the rain actually falls in a three-story exhibit of tall trees, plants, birds and animals.
