For little kids - recommend 4th floor lego area and animals on 5th floor ... Snapping turtle being fed, petting crabs - and of course water area on ground floor !
Just steps from the AOPA Summit at the convention center you’ll find great exhibits , interactive displays, an IMAX theatre and more. A great activity for families!
Bring a change of clothes for the younger kids...Cam was DRENCHED from playing in the water area and he loved every second of it!
Head over to Exploring Space exhibit & grab the controls of the Mars Flyover featuring a one of a kind simulation using real NASA imagery letting you experience flight through space & landing on Mars. Read more
43 & I absolutely love this place. This place is not just for kids. Come explore
Awesome center with plenty to explore and do!
If kids on a fieldtrip are acting up, don't be afraid to tell the staff in each exhibit . They'll handle it!
Museum is FANTASTIC! But, if you park in the garage , it closes soon after the museum - so double check the hours with the attendant. We went out for dinner after and was almost locked in!
Cafe is closed until mid February for renovations, so bring lunch or plan to go to a nearby restaurant if you need lunch or dinner .
Check out the Hartford Marriott site for a promotion. We stayed for $139 overnight which gave us the room, 2 adult, 2 children tickets to the Science Center plus breakfast in the AM
Great place for kids and have lots of activities for kids !!
Fun exhibits for all ages.
Experience FIRST by checking out the FIRST exhibit in the Forces in Motion gallery on the fourth floor. Read more

Avoid parking on Grove street - or probably anywhere on the street - my friends had their car broken into. There's a huge Science Center garage . Use it.
Don't come on a day off from school. It's insanity!!!
Had a great time with family and friends. - Minerva Rivera
Everyone knows to see the two-headed calf, but don't forget the History Is All Around Us exhibit on the lower level! Best exhibit anywhere for Hartford history. - Ashley
The Mark Twain House is a great place to visit, especially in thet winter with the holiday decorations. When available, go on their ghost tour. TAPS was there 2 times. - LMD SBC-Skinny Fiber
Combine the visit with Mark Twain house. Not as grand as its famous neighbor but the guides make it up with their enthusiasm and treasure trove of information. - Foodie Musafir
cute little riverfront plaza... this kinda space for fairs, festivals, music, food trucks - it's all great!!! - Andrew C
Burgers and beer selection are excellent. Staff are great. They validated parking (consider it a free beer!!!!) - Paul Shea
