Connecticut Science Center Reviews

Kids love it here. Lots of things to do and see for all ages. There are multiple floors so if you have a handicap member it may be annoying to get around although there is an elevator. They have rotating featured attractions and sometimes have after hours adult theme parties. The only draw back is the price of admission - on the expensive side. Great eating across the street from the center but nothing great inside the center.

Great Interactive displays. Only drawback campers not under control pushing their way into displays.

Such a great place for the children. All the hands in activities we're great. We spent 4 hours and we're never bored!

Staff supremely helpful. Family bathrooms on every floor. Outdoor spaces well thought out, including street level access to gorgeous elevated walkway stretching across the city through parks, gardens, majestic civic architecture.

Great science center, fun for all ages, they have areas broken out for different age groups. That way everyone can have fun and not get run over.

Very interesting and informative. Great for kids and adults!

Great place a little pricey but arnt they ALL start at the 6th floor and work your way down 150 hands on exhibits or more. Every changing. Great place for kids

My family had a blast here! My daughter loved the water play are and the space exhibit. It can be a bit pricey without passes.

Great family afternoon away being a spare shirt for your kids to play in the water and visit the butterfly encounter we saw a burly come out of its chrysalis very cool and parking is so much more convenient than other museums.

Tons of exhibits from outer space to the human body. Great fun for an hour or a full day. If you're local i suggest getting a year long pass. Cheaper parking plusit pays for itself on the 2nd visit. No brainer.

The staff is great with kids, particularly for birthday parties. Lots to like here.

This is a great sciences center. There is a lot for the kids to do and play with while learning about things. My family had a really fun time last time we came. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a nice family outing.

Everything is very "hands on" and kid friendly. My children love this museum!

Great learning environment for all ages. The butterfly atrium was amazing! Roof top gardens, hands on science, The Bodies exhibit was an eye-opener !

A little boring. Very similar to the Bridgeport Science Museum and cheaper, just a smaller place. So if you re closer to Bridgeport and don t want to travel over a hour like us, just go there.

Very fun suggested age is 4-10, but my 16 year old went and had a great time. Very loud but it is a children's museum

One hundred and fifty plus exhibits, a 3-D theater, labs, daily events/programs and a lot more. Connecticut Science Center has a lot to offer and a lot of exploration to do. You got something to do and learn irrespective of your age. One of the reasons why one should visit science centre is to see theory in reality. Often times, textbook learning is not sufficient to understand and comprehend. Science Center would be a great place to fill that gap.

Great place! Love when the bodies exhibit comes too!

Modern museum with lots of interactive exhibits. Definitely meant for a younger crowd than some other science museums.

Even if you buy tickets online in advance, you will be in line 20 minutes to get in.

Great place to take kids, you can get very hands on and interact with all the exhibits!

Very educational,body exhibits were great! Highly recommend

Very nice & informative place to visit specially for kids. I went there twice. Science in action...

Good spot. I felt smarter when i walked out the center. The layout was amazeballs!
Great views of the river and buildings. State of the art science stuff. I would've gave 5 stars if they had a small aquarium. I suggest Grouponing it. Save some $$$$ yerrrd!

Lots to see. Interesting subject matter. But expensive and a number of the exhibits weren't working correctly or missing components that made them functional.

Fantastic place to visit, I'm handicapped, use walker and wheelchair! That day it was necessary for me to be in the wheelchair and I was flabbergasted at what we got to see and do! Amazing activities offered by the museum, from the beginning of our journey through the world of knowledge and experience of learning real objects on display, movies, shopping and the fantastic world of Butterflies, it's amazing what you walk away from this adventure with!

Extremely educational, while entertaining at the same time!

Very good place to bring children to do hands on learning. Many activities. Kids love it.

Huge facility but not worth the price. $25 for a person for what???? Most of the exhibits are very basic and are for grown ups. And on top of that they are sponsored by big companies. So why are we paying. Waste of time for toddlers and young kids.

Great place for all ages. Love taking my grandchildren, ages 4 and 8.

For what they have, is way too expensive. Definitely have some fun, interactive exhibits, but not for what they charge. On the plus side, the parking is easy since it's connected to a parking garage

Guys this is one of the most informative places. Omg. It was extraordinary unlike anything I've seen. If you love science I definitely recommend that you go here.

This is a great place to take the kids. It will engage the family for hours.

The science center was very cool and filled with fun activities helping people of all ages learn about science. They also have amenities like frozen yogurt and subway. There are 6 floors of learning which all look down onto the main lobby. But I must give it 4 stars compared to the Boston science museum.

It's a fun place for the whole family. The majority of the exhibits are aimed at middle schoolers level of comprehension. Plenty of interesting things for adults to interact with as well.

Very interesting! Went to see the bodies exhibit and the butterfly exhibit. Tomorrow is the last day for the bodies exhibit. There were real bodies and it was definitely emotionally charged seeing all the different parts of the body young and old alike. Designed to make you think about your own morality it really touched my soul and will stay with me. The butterfly exhibit wasn't worth the extra money it was very small and not that many butterflies were there. Guess I'm used to magic wings of South Deerfield which is real museum just dedicated to butterflies. Otherwise would've given 5 stars.

Amazing place to go with kids, we enjoy as much as our grandson.

It was awesome! We loves the human body exhibit, but it's probably going to give small children nightmares. But they would love the rest of the place. There are many hands on exhibits that are really informative and educational. Definitely worth a visit.

Even on a busy holiday week, lots of fun. Don't miss the butterfly exhibit!

This place is a delight of wonder and curiosity for all ages. Go while there is still the butterfly exhibit. It's awesome. My nephew could have spent all day there. Both nephews (5 and almost 10) found wonder all around them through the museum. And it's just great.

Nice full day experience with goid maintenance . Explained scientific concepts in small models

The young staffs are so unmotivated. They look like they're half asleep and disengaged. Those in the exhibit areas are keeping each other company rather than trying to engaged young children who can't figure out what to do. They need more supervision and training from the adult world in that place. They should have wipes and disinfectants available, handy around the exhibits to prevent spread of diseases.
The food vendors need to improve their food quality. My granddaughter wanted pizza. It was unbelievably so bad!! Prepared in a microwave? Soft and soggy!!

Awesome experience attending a birthday party at the Science Center!

Really overpriced, but educational. Don't bother getting a membership, as most kids would be bored by second visit

Awesome exploring place for the kids. Interesting exhibition and beautiful panoramic of CT river.

This place was well staffed and they were all extremely helpful. There's too much to see here in one visit though! Education that everyone can have fun learning with so much hands on fun! The ONLY bad thing was the subway there. Terrible service they were out of almost everything the whole 5 hours we were there and the tables were not clean.

Interesting, but a lot of the exhibits are showing their age.

It's a great place to visit wid kids of all ages... Everyone got something of their interest.

It was enjoyabke. I would recamend to go here with friends.

Very quiet on a Sunday morning. I felt very safe there. Everytime we left a display or activity a staff member followed up and cleaned what we had touched. If you are looking for something to do with the family during this time, I highly recommend a visit to the Ct Science Center! We practically had the place to ourselves.

First time there. Kid was entertained the whole time

A great place for kids and adults to learn and play!

Fun hands on place for kids and families. Areas change from time to time so worth visiting more than once.

We love coming here with our kids. They have alot of great hands on activities for children and adults!
