The Children's Museum and Play Space
add photosIredell Museums' kids@play facility at Signal Hill Mall is housed in a 1700 sq. ft. play space containing a wide variety of exciting exhibits that allow children to explore and express themselves individually or participate in group activities and lessons.
Rotating exhibits and programs lead children to discover themselves and others through spontaneous social interactions, tap into their curiosity and creativity and help teach respect for nature and all living things.
In an effort to enrich the county’s classroom, science exhibits and workshops are a focus of the museum. First introduced in 1998, science workshops continue to explore the field through inquiry and hands-on activities. The facility is available for private birthday parties.

"Don't bother"
This is not a children's museum! This is a room with toys in a half-deserted mall. There are a few terrariums to make it seem educational, but really it is a sad attempt at a children's museum. With Discovery place just 30 minutes South (in Charlotte), the science museum in Hickory (25 minutes West), SciWorks and the Winston-Salem children's museum just 45 minutes East, I'm not sure why anyone would spend money to play with half used toys in a small room in the mall!

"A ton of fun!"
Part of the Iredell Museums organization, the Children's Play Space operates in Signal Hill Mall. Its art exhibit includes an abundance of art supplies to allow children to experiment with a variety of media.
A music exhibit helps children explore instruments from around the world, including African drums, bells, xylophone, tambourine, and rain stick.
A costume and puppet stage invites children into a “barn” equipped with a variety of diverse puppets to help children to create their own puppet show.
Nearby is a costume area and mirror where children dress up and put on their own performance.
A child-sized kitchen and cafe exhibit puts children to work setting a table, preparing and serving “meals” to friends and family, and cleaning up and vacuuming.
A blocks exhibit exposes children to architecture and the nature exhibit includes live fish, snakes, and painted turtles.
