Connecticut Science Center, Science museum and educational center in downtown Hartford, United States

The Connecticut Science Center is a large building downtown where visitors can touch and experiment with over 150 interactive exhibits. It also has a theater with a big screen and several areas with computers right along the river.

The center opened in 2009 and brought a new kind of science museum to the city. It was built to give people of all ages access to science education.

The center serves as a gathering place for school groups and families throughout the region who come together to explore and discover scientific phenomena. It plays an important role in local education and shows how science becomes part of everyday experience.

The building sits right on the waterfront and is easy to reach on foot or by car. Plan to spend several hours exploring the many exhibits and activities.

The center is home to a tropical butterfly habitat where live butterflies fly freely year-round. This is a rare experience in Connecticut that many visitors do not expect to find.
