The Schiele Museum Of Natural History & Lynn Planetarium is located at 1500 E Garrison Blvd in Gastonia, North Carolina. A resident of Gastonia gets in free, and the pricing for others are quite reasonable. I have gone there several times, and each time I learn a lot of things and see a lot of different things. They have wonderful history of the North Carolina Piedmont Area. I love the flower trail outside and the buildings and exhibits that depict early pioneers. The laser show at the Planetarium is good, too. I think you will like it. Call them and ask for their hours before you go because I am not sure of them. Hours change each season.

The Schiele Museums main focus is on North Carolina's history of the Piedmont area. Inside they have exhibits of North Carolina's geographic regions. Outside they have a nature trail filled with all kinds of different flowers. They also have the Backcountry Farm with reconstructed buildings to depict the early days of North Carolina's pioneers. They also have a planetarium has laser shows and live sky constellation programs and various shows on the sun and the moon. The price of admission isn't outrageous and if you're a Gastonia resident you get in free. Can't get much better than that.
