The story
Kaleideum in Winston-Salem, North Carolina was created from the July 2016 merger of Children's Museum of Winston-Salem and SciWorks, the Science Center and Environmental Park of Forsyth County. The two old properties were closed in December 2023, and the new unified museum opened in downtown Winston-Salem on February 7, 2024.
