Reviews
Very nice science center and museum. I appreciate that they have exhibits that will engage nearly any age group, making it a great destination for families with kids of varying ages, and adults too. The size is great too - bigger than your local nature center, but not as massive (or expensive) as the science museum in Boston (which I also love, but the CT science center is much closer and less of an epic undertaking for me and my two young kids). Parking is convenient and since it's an attached garage, good for when the weather is bad. On nice days, the rooftop garden is really nice - I'd recommend bringing a picnic lunch and eating it outside on the riverfront walkway area.

Great place for some family friendly fun. It's a little bit pricey, but if you plan on visiting two or three times in one season, getting the season pass is definitely the way to go. Lots to do and see. Lots of kid-friendly activities to try out. Highly recommended.

A good place for kids, but also fun as adults. We liked the butterfly experience quite a bit and enjoyed the extreme weather movie that we saw. The space wing has some excellent features including a lay-back and explore interactive display. We had a lot of fun trying some of the different concepts.

Great place for kids of all ages. Grandparents just beam! Lots of things to do and learn Like many of its ilk, far too much reading at each station. Why is that? Great 3D theater Too many up charges.

Been here twice. Even as an adult it's super fun. Very interactive and educational in a fun way. Parking garage is a little confusing, but the entrance to the building will definitely impress you. There are traveling exhibits you can pay more to get into. Certainly worth the extra couple dollars if the topic interests you. Plus, they do student discounts!
