Kiddie Heaven

So I just finished the January cover story on Marbles Kids Museum for Southern Neighbor Magazine. Two former children's museums, Playspace and Exploris, combined to form the hands-on interactive museum in Raleigh's downtown earlier this fall.

The place has everything, IMAX movies, water games, a tree house, Gyotaku ... the list could go on forever. But don't be fooled by the name. The only thing this museum does not have for kids to play with is, you guessed it, marbles.



The museum’s marketing director informed me one of the walls (made from more than 1,000 marbles) inspired the name. Still, it is a unique space for kids young and old!
