If you’re traveling in North Carolina, you’ll find a number of things to do during the day in Greensboro: The Arboretum, the Greensboro Historical Museum, the Guilford Courthouse National Military Park. But what if you’re staying over in one of the hotels of Greensboro? What if you’re looking for something to do at night? There’s an answer, at least for Febuary 19th. The Natural Science Center’s Omnisphere is presenting a laser show, titled Laser U2, at seven, eight and nine o’clock at night, where you’ll be able to watch laser light dance and flash across the forty foot dome of the Omnisphere to the tunes of U2. Each show lasts about an hour. Based on my experiences with laserium shows in Los Angeles, this should be well worth a visit. But, of course, it’s not the only thing the Natural Science Center or the Omnisphere has to offer.
During the day, you’ll be able to see some spectacular 3-D movies at affordable rates. While schedules may change, according to the present listing at the Omnisphere, you’ll find Bugs! A Rainforest Adventure in 3-D, narrated by Academy Award winning actress Judi Dench, and Sea Monsters in 3-D, which is on a return engagement due to its popularity. Sea Monsters plays Mondays at three p.m., while Bugs! may be seen at two and four in the afternoon on Mondays to Sundays. If you arrive a little earlier in the day, you can see at one in the afternoon two features that explore astronomical sights: The Other Side of Infinity: Black Holes, and Seasonal Stargazing.
These features can be seen for six dollars for the 3-D films, and five dollars for the 2-D films; this is in addition to the admission fee to the Natural Science Center; however, if you arrive no more than fifteen minutes before showtime, then the Science Center fee is waived. However, I’d arrive even earlier and explore the exhibits of the Science Center, too. It makes for an excellent day for travelers and their families in Greensboro.
