New Britain Youth Museum At Hungerford Park

We loved our visit. Lots for little scientists (toddlers and older kids!) to explore. - Lots of hands-on displays with bones, rocks, furs, etc. - Indoor play area with things like blocks, scarves, magnets, sand table - Live animals - cows, goats, hawks, owls, chickens, geese, bunnies, lizards, turtles, frogs, snakes...

The place is lovely... its under some construction but its def worth the visit. I personally think the play area can use some new wood chips/mulch. i was displeased with the unfriendly staff. Specifically at the desk. Didnt greet just very dry and unwelcoming attitude NOT FRIENDLY AT ALL.

For $6/person, you and your kids get an afternoon of entertainment. They have nice farm animals a playground and other "touch" exhibits. Also, clean bathrooms in case they need to go before the trip home. Plus, Roger's Orchard is just a short drive away....in case you need to grab a few things on the way.

Love the trails here and seeing the animals outside. But seeing the owls and hawks makes me so sad. They always looks miserable. I know they are hurt but I hate seeing them stuck in their cage all the time.
