🎉 Today is International Museums Day! 🌟🧪🚀

We’re taking a moment to travel back in time ⏳ to where it all began—34 years ago in 1992—when Imagination Station first opened its doors of discovery 🔬 to the children of Wilson and Eastern North Carolina.

We’d love to hear from you! 💬 What are some of your favorite memories from the 1990s and 2000s? Did you beat the Cheetah? 🐆💨

As we celebrate our past, we’re also looking ahead ▶✨ to building a completely new museum experience for the next generation of explorers, innovators, and dreamers. 🌌👩‍🚀

Our BIG PLANS for the future are grounded in the success of our legacy—and the citizens of Wilson will play a special role in helping shape what’s next. 💡🏙️

In the meantime, get ready… 🚨 Over the next few months, we’ll be launching NEW and EXCITING learning experiences that are truly out of this world! 🌠🛰️ Stay tuned to our socials for updates!
