For this special holiday weekend, we have decided to embrace that feeling, and everyone will pay kids’ price for General Admission. Explore more than 165 hands-on exhibits, warm up in our Butterfly Encounter, or chill out in a 3D movie. Enjoy Mazes & Brain Games in the traveling gallery and take a journey through Connecticut’s changing landscape with hands-on activities in Our Changing Earth.

An evening filled with fun! For kids in their PJs: a scavenger hunt in the galleries, crafts, live performances by Songs for Seeds, pizza, and dessert. For grown-ups: the chance to enjoy the Museum after-hours with wine, beer, light bites, and raffle prizes.

We want everyone to be able to enjoy the Science Center. That’s why we are lowering the volume and dimming the lights for our friends with sensory disabilities. All who will benefit from a quieter environment are invited as our special guests for the day!
