CHANGING LIVES AND INSPIRING LEARNING THROUGH SCIENCE AND WONDER.
When your business partners with Catawba Science Center, you make a direct impact on science education across the Piedmont and Western North Carolina. Our Partners in Science program helps us bring engaging, curriculum-aligned STEM experiences to over 35,000 students each year.
Your support keeps program costs low—so more public, private, and homeschool groups can access high-quality, hands-on learning. Fees only cover a portion of what it takes to create and deliver these programs. Our Partners make up the difference.
With your help, we can reach even more children throughout our region of North Carolina—students who are eager to explore, experiment, and grow through science.

Fabulous and I don’t often give praise. We took our grandson and were there for hours. He loved it and so did we.
We love the Science Center! I take my 2 and 4 year old boys weekly to play and enjoy the exhibits. The staff are wonderful and the classes offered are excellent! We are so blessed to have such an amazing resource in our area.
This place was great. We have kids from 8 to 1 and they all had a great time. What I really liked is most of the exhibits are hands on and that really kept them occupied.
Took the kiddos and they loved it. Employees were nice and helpful. If your looking for something to do with the kids give this place a shot.
What a wonderful place to visit! Great environment to learn and the staff is very helpful! Hickory is lucky to have great family education and entertainment.
