Fun & Educational - Have made the 30 minute drive several times in the past year, with kids, well worth it. The outdoor animal enclosures and indoor exotic animal exhibit are usually our first stops. The excellent wooden playground with slides of various sizes is usually how we end the visit. The hiking trails are fun too, time permitting.

Very nice place for kids. They give a feel of a country farm. They have various domestic animals. they also have a small snake home(very small) with few of the snakes. The stretch where it takes you to a hill top kinda of structure is really cool. It looks scary.. but its constructed so well with proper bridges and barricades. Living in Stamford, this is a must visit. IF you travel in Bus, they don't charge you the ticket fee

In 1975 Charles Scovil, the head of Stamford Observatory and self-appointed "astronomer" (without an astronomy degree), had an old dome on the grounds of the observatory which is on the grounds of the Stamford Museum and Nature Center. The dome was defective and could never work but no one had the money to remove it from the property. So Mr. Scovil tricked a group of high school students from Byram Hills High School in Armonk, NY into removing the dome from his property by offering to "donate" the defective dome to them for an observatory they were building. Of course, Mr. Scovil knew that the dome would not work but he lied to the students, telling them it was a perfectly good dome. The students put in a great amount of effort, work and money to remove the dome from the Stamford Observatory grounds but once they got the dome to Armonk they found out the dome was useless. This shows that Mr. Scovil is a liar and a man who is so devious and unethical that he would trick a group of high school kids into doing something that would be disastrous to them. Scovil is immoral to the very core. There are few people on this earth who are as unethical, devious and loathsome as Charles Scovil. I notified the board of the Stamford Museum and Nature Center about this injustice and they ignored it. As such they are just as loathsome as their so-called "astronomer", Charles Scovil.

A great place to take the kids enough of the features are spread out that it is easy to miss some of the attraction (the lizard and bird shack, hiking trail and playground are close by but easy to walk past). Keep an eye out for the occational special events (folks in revolutionary war clothes, food trucks, pumpkin carving, etc.), they usually cost a little extra ($10), but they add to the experience.
