E LFebruary 4, 2012For 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 !
PT6 NationSeptember 15, 2011Just 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!
Lisa DuperryJuly 2, 2013Bring a change of clothes for the younger kids...Cam was DRENCHED from playing in the water area and he loved every second of it!
Micah MurrayMarch 10, 2013If kids on a fieldtrip are acting up, don't be afraid to tell the staff in each exhibit. They'll handle it!
Chris SheehyApril 25, 2010Museum 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!- Wayne SchulzJanuary 11, 2010Check 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
- Cristos L-CJanuary 1, 2014Cafe is closed until mid February for renovations, so bring lunch or plan to go to a nearby restaurant if you need lunch or dinner.

Be warned, the cafeteria is closed until February and will reopen as a subway.
- Wayne SchulzJanuary 11, 2010Avoid 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.
