Connecticut Science Center
About
The Connecticut Science Center occupies a landmark building on the Connecticut River in downtown Hartford and offers a dynamic, inquiry-driven learning environment across multiple floors of interactive exhibits. Permanent exhibit areas explore themes from space and forces in motion to early childhood STEM learning, and a 3D theater hosts educational films. The center runs structured programs for school groups, youth organizations, and families, and its Toddler Tuesdays provide a quieter early-access session designed for very young children.
