Thank you for visiting our award-winning website!
The mission of the Rocky Mount Children's Museum and Science Center is to raise awareness in those we serve of their global connection and "unique place in space" by encouraging their participation in science, mathematics, and technology. The Rocky Mount Children's Museum and Science Center is an excellent way for families to spend quality time with one another. Our programs and exhibits are especially engaging, hands-on, and fun for absolutely everyone.

"The Children's Museum and Science Center at the Imperial Centre in Rocky Mount, North Carolina has been a great stop for the NASA Exploration Experience. Their work in helping us let the local public and education system know of our three days at their location was outstanding. Through the Center's assistance in promotion, NASA was able to explain about its future missions to the moon and the benefits of space exploration in our daily lives. We truly enjoyed our time in Rocky Mount."
