The beloved FlutterBy Butterfly Habitat is returning to Catawba Science Center on May 10th! Every three years, this exhibit sees the Outdoor Science Courtyard transformed into an enchanting butterfly oasis. This year, we are excited to bring you an accessible courtyard for all, regardless of mobility challenges. Join today for members-only perks in Spring 2025!

National Trails Day is on June 7th! This year Lake Norman will host a guided hike on Alder Trail to help celebrate. Bring your water bottle and wear some closed-toed shoes as we hike this 0.8-mile trail along the banks of Hicks and Norwood Creek. Please call the Visitor Center to register. National Trails Day helps to promote hiking, biking, paddling, and playing across our trails. It is done in partnership with the Catawba Land Conservancy and the Carolina Thread Trail.
