On January 19, 2018, one of the best Harry Potter themed events ever is coming to the QC. The Discovery Place Science Museum in Uptown Charlotte will be hosting a version of their adults-only “Science on the Rocks” with a special theme of Wizarding World — a tribute to the great Harry Potter.
If you are an adult in Charlotte and have been a fan since the beginning, then mark your calendars for the night of your life!
“Science on the Rocks” is an adults-only program hosted by Discovery Place on the third Friday of each month.

Exhibits still focus on science, but offer grown-ups a chance to learn something new at a more advanced level than what is usually offered for the kids.
