We had a blast here. There is so many different hands on activities. We spent over 3 hours here and my son didn't want to leave. I highly recommend

We had so much fun here! Our almost 5yo son had a ball with all of the hands-on bells and whistles! Yes, I said “hands-on!” If you’re still uneasy about covid and aren’t comfortable with life slowly..... more

This is a great place to bring your family for an interactive, educational, fun day. My family and friends have been meeting here for the past 5 or more years. And the older kids, 10 and 11, are having as much fun as the 5 and 6 year olds. There is on-site parking, which costs about $10 for 4 hours. There is a Subway on site if you get hungry, or you can bring your own food. Easy on/off 91.

Went to see the mummy exhibit today. Definitely well put together. It consisted of artifacts from multiple museums plus a mummy made from a U.S. university using traditional ancient Egyptian tools. Very interesting...kind of sad...there were a few babies... Take your kid while you have the chance. Not much of this kind of stuff in museums in CT.
