Greensboro's Natural Science Museum

          I always love being a tourist of the city I live in.  People become so used to their everyday routine, that they forget what their surroundings have to offer, especially when you just want to go 20 minutes down the road for a day of adventure!
         Wanting to go somewhere I'd never been before, and not having time for travel, Vlad and I spent a Friday afternoon exploring the Natural Science Center of Greensboro, NC!  I didn't realize how much was there!  Between the exhibits and the indoor habitats, as well as the small enclosures outside, there's a lot to see.  The Natural Science Center is only one of two zoos in the country, the other being in Indianapolis, that has Javan Gibbons monkeys.  Soon, in spring 2013, it will also be the home of the Carolina Sciquarium!  So I'm already excited to go back next spring and see the addition!  Its definitely a place to put on your checklist for Touring Greensboro!

    Thanks for the great write up and we're so happy to hear you had a wonderful experience here! Please come back and visit us again soon. I love all the photos you posted, especially the ones of the boy (your son?) looking at the tiger and the guy watching the Foucault Pendulum. Would you be open to emailing me these photos? My email is sreeve@natsci.org. Thanks! Steffany Reeve, Marketing Director of the Natural Science Center.

      The little boy isn't my son but he was so cute standing in front of me, he made a perfect photo! But the guy at the Pendulum was the friend that introduced me to the N.S.C., and I'd be happy to send you those photos! It's amazing what camera phones can do these days!
