Connecticut Science Center Reviews

Not really much here they have the same 's for 6mths boring

Attended for scout day. Great activities, wonderful human body exhibit. Great for all ages. Bring extra clothes if doing the water section.

So much fun. Alot to see and explore. A fun family place

So much to see and do. Every time we go back my kids act like it's the first time going. Love it.

Glad to see CT Science Center open again! First day open, it was almost empty in the afternoon. We had most sections we went in to ourselves and only saw a handful of other families during our visit.

This is a great place to bring your kids. The exhibits are very nice and interactive, allowing for the kids to be hands on with the experiments and challenge them. The tickets are a bit expensive but there are multiple floors of exhibits dealing from physics, to biology, to geology and meteorology.

Best place to take your kids and have fun, most of the staff are always nice and speak respectfully, and always help you when you need it.

Lots of hands on. Young, middle age or senior, great place to visit.

Beautiful important place because it had good learning biwm, for spectacular children

Great place for future engineers. Excellent value, fun, and diverse exhibits.

Awesome. So sorry that we did not have an entire day to spend there. So much to see and interact with. Wonderful for kids and adults alike.

Kids always have fun, good way to burn a few hours. Bit expensive 22 per person or so for general admission.

This place is very cool! All ages can have fun. And this place is very well priced.

Such a fantastic place for kids and adults!! And I gotta say they were doing an amazing job going around wipng things down ALOT, they are really doing it right trying to keep everyone safe. Thank you for an amazing day!

There was a big dinosaur and that honestly made my day.

I can t imagine how anyone could have a bad experience here. It s totally worth it. I have a membership for me and my children and it s worth every cent. We come throughout the year for their themed celebrations/events, they have an awesome butterfly room, a theater room, multiple levels with easy and rapid elevator access for each separate category of science... it covers every base. With our membership we are able to go all year round, with some discounts and only pay $5 to park every time so it stays affordable. We also get free entry to Mystic Aquarium for the month of March, free entry to Norwalk Aquarium in January, and free entry to Beardsley Zoo in Bridgeport come September. It s totally worth it.. my son loves the Space room with the planets, and spaceship.. everything is so interactive and friendly. Highly recommend.

Awesome place for my 3 year old and 19 month kids, but also looks like a lot of stuff to do for older kids.

Very educatiinal institute that have a very nice skulled well trained welcoming staff that you need to bring your kids and every one you know to join here.

There are so many interactive areas. I had so much fun with my mom, brother, and sister in law. I can't wait to go back!

Seen the dead bodys here. Amazing. Rest of museum is so cool. Loved the space station

Great for kids! They changed their installation periodically so getting their annual pass is a great deal.

Great indoor activity. Allow extra time to explore. Place was extremely busy with summer camp programs. Some of the staff was very friendly and helpful while other staff seemed annoyed and they didn't want to be there. Parking garage is under facility. Parking ranges from $7 to $19

Not many exhibits. A little disappointing. Some of the exhibits that were there were not very science focused, boring and not easy for kids to understand. I wouldn't go back

We had kids of all different ages and all three loved everything. There was stuff for kids of all ages at each level, and there was even a lot of fun for us adults. It was a great family day.

first time visiting - granddaughter wanted to go - she enjoyed herself, as I did..great price for community day.....

We have been members here for about a year and we plan to re-up our membership. We have two boys a 2 year old and a 4 year old. They have a blast every time we come here.

During the summer we have been bringing them in their bathing suits so when they play in the water area near the entrance we don't have to worry about them getting soaking wet. Come winter time we might skip the suits but I still plan to bring water shoes since there tends to be a lot of puddles on the floor in the water play area.

The exhibits are interesting, well maintained, and simple enough for a child to grasp, yet still interesting as an adult to interact with.

The butterfly exhibit is quite nice and if you wear bright colors they will often land on you if you stay still.

They also have an exhibit that rotates what it is on the fourth floor which is nice as the rest of the center is fairly static in what it contains.

They have raincoats for the water exhibit but bringing a change of clothes for more enthusiastic children is a good idea.

Lots of fun to go with any age child. Went with my kids for their school field trip and had lots of fun!

Love love love!!! Always have fun when we go, they have exhibits for all ages. My daughter is almost 2 and there is stuff for her, and I m never bored either!

It's just ok for the price. The kids will have fun and all but there could be more activities for the price

Would give it more stars if I could. My child absolutely loves this place. Staff always friendly to us. We are looking to become members soon
Update: We have become members. This place is just so great to be apart of. Membership has some cool options. Parking 5 bucks and birthday parties discounts. Also can get discounts on special events

My girls love it, they're continually rotating new displays in so there's always something new

Took the kids here over the weekend, I think they're doing a fantastic job spacing out the amount of patrons allowed in at one time, we had a blast. Unfortunately quite a few of the exhibits were not operational ... if they were I'd have given 5 stars

The food and exhibits are great, but everything in the gift shop is too expensive.

We loved it so much that we upgraded to the family pass. The kids had a great time and I feel like one trip wasn't enough to fully appreciate everything this museum has to offer. Parking was pretty easy, the cafeteria food was actually pretty good, the gift shop was loaded with educational toys, and all of the exhibits were clean and very interactive and fun. We will be back, ASAP.

Excellent activity for all ages - 3D movie theater, exhibits, and special events. My 5 year olds favorite exhibit is the Space Exploration area.

Great place for learning for kids. Must visit place!!

For the price I wasn't impressed at all. Staff wasnt very polite, most of them were too busy chatting. I won't go back

Great fun for all ages! Totally worth a trip to see.

This is a great place to bring kids to explore and have good fun..

Science Is Life,Chicks dig it when you share that science knowledge on them. Plus I like to support children learning about science early#nerdlife#thuglife@gamswagrus

Great place to have an outing with the kids. Start on the top floor and work your way down to the lobby.

So many interactive activities for kids off all ages

Lots for kids to do. My four year old played here for 6 hours!

Such a great place to explore! There is something for all ages with about 4 floors of exhibits and each with a different theme. The indoor water play set up was perfect for my 2 year old (Bring extra clothes and shoes)!

Great science center. Wonderful exhibits as well as 3d educational movies. Subway, gift shop and froyo available. Love the Space section.

I recommend everybody to visit there with their children, as often as possible, very educational

A fun place for the family, there is always something new to enjoy.

This is an outstanding museum - for kids. While some science museums are designed for all ages, Connecticut's is not. If you're not an elementary school age kid, and if you're not an adult accompanying an elementary school age kid, you're going to have a hard time getting into it. Exhibitions are virtually all experiential, and positioned at an elementary schooler's eyeline. The gift shop is just about the only thing I can think of that adults will enjoy, assuming they aren't being pestered to buy things.

My daughter loves it here season passes are worth it and perks to go with it it's also no profit so you can write it off on your taxes

I have only been once the place didn t do it for me, guess it s mostly for kids the robotics flor was cool and so was the astronomy floor besides that food and alcohol that s it

We took my son's 5th grade class here on a field trip. The staff works very hard to keep it organized. The movie (Dream Big) was great, the kids enjoyed the lab, and exhibits are fun...they liked the Robotics room the best. Only minus is we lost some time because our buses were late getting us there and had to wait in afternoon to get on buses. They were there but had to wait in line behind other buses. Very busy place!

Horrible service! My first time attending today 6/13/16 and every thing was going fine until I was Ganged up and accused by staff and assistant manager of eating in the exhibit! No way would I make a big deal about a rule! But to be accused and having people look at me as if I stole something was the worst experience ever I would not bring my child back and will request my son school to maybe consider Stamford going forward! I'm sure they would treat visitors better! Next time you want approach someone pull them to the side and get your facts! Clearly your staff is underpaid and salty to want to tell lies of me eating when I wasn't the only person holding food in the exhibit! Maybe it's the way I look! Very unprofessional !!!

A tremendous experience for our six years of age son! He absolutely loves the "water" area...

Great place for the kids. Took my grandkids there and they barely left the downstairs room with the balls and waterways@

Awesome science center for all ages! Great hands-on exhibits, clean and well run awe went on a rainy day and even with a full garage the museum didn't feel crowded.

This place is great for kids and has enough adult stuff, too.

Great combination of activities and challenges inter mixed with inspiring words and well done exhibits housed in an interesting building with fabulous views.

The facility is modern and clean. A parking garage is attached to the museum which is very convenient, but not included in admission costs. There is also food and snacks on the main floor. The exhibits look more like a trade fair for renewable energy and construction materials. Their are lots of buttons and levers along with education material that is geared to the adults. Only 3 out of the six levels have exhibits. One exhibit is dedicated entirely to rocks, it's kinda ridiculous how much space is dedicated to that subject. Their is only 1 dinosaur animated statue and a very small marine exhibit. The rest is STEM subject matter. There isn't enough staff to usher people along to allow others a chance to view/exhibits. Do yourself a favor and go early on a weekday and call in advance to see what exhibits are closed.

Nice visit s little pricey for a child that's only 4 years old.

Great place to bring the kids. A lot of cool exhibits.

I think this place tends to be a little bit more on the expensive side to what kind of exhibits there are. It's much more geared to older kids, not a TON of hands on fun things to do. A lot more reading than hands on learning. Which isnt BAD, but it is multi levels of the same sort of thing. It's also crammed into small areas even though there are different floors, so if its busy or you're at an event- forget it. I've gone twice for events and everything took so long and there were so many people and children we couldn't see much. We ended up spending hours- but just getting in, trying to see exhibits, and waiting in lines for everything. There's also no one walking around during these events from the museum and had a lot issues with children AND parents (which I KNOW should be parents job, but maybe anyone else from the museum could speak up instead of other patrons). Just not impressed overall.

Dont purchase the butterfly exhibit you're going to spend a maximum of 5 minutes there before getting bored and leaving
