Center in the Square is a downtown Roanoke cultural hub rather than a single traditional museum. The multi-storey building supports several arts, science, and family attractions, and it helps anchor the Market Square area as more than a place to eat before heading back to the mountains.
Travellers should check what is open inside before building a day around it, since the value depends on current tenants and exhibitions. Even so, it is a useful indoor stop in central Roanoke and a good fallback when weather closes in on Blue Ridge plans.
