    Connecticut Science Center image
    Our first visit which we took advantage of due to free entry for children and one adult CT resident in July/August. We did pay $7 for parking (convenience-elevator brings you right up to the centers lobby) paid for one adult and extra for the butterfly experience (totally worth it and no time limit). Our grands are 6 and 8 yr old girls and they loved it. Lots of hands on , some restricted to younger kids) but sanitizer and restrooms abundant. Crowded due to some camp groups. Some activities got taken over a little roughly by older kids. Staff didn’t do much and not all adults stayed with their kids. Overall a great afternoon ! Snacks on first floor were outrageously expensive but after a few hours they were hungry. Don’t miss the rooftop gardens with a spectacular views over Hartford and the Ct River See more..

  3. 3.5 Eli Whitney Museum (7 reviews)
    - Fun for kids
    Spent 1-2 hours Science Museums • Children's Museums
    The train exhibit in mid-winter is smallish but fun for little ones. They do fun birthday parties and activities involving building items out of wood bits (not requiring special skills and emphasizing safety) as well as workshops on building larger things for the older set. The "museum" designation is principally based on the model of a mill and the cotton gin example provided with information about Whitney's role in originating the latter. See more..
