The polar bear was kinda sad but now its gone, in a good way. Indoors is our favorite with lots of variety but feel the extra cost for shows is not fair for such a hight admission price. More

This is a great science/nature museum that is great fun throughout the year. As many things "Worcester", it's smaller than Boston, but in many aways more rewarding and less overwhelming. Highly recommended! More

My children and I had such a great time here. There was plenty for everyone to explore and we were with a large age range of children (infant, 2, 4, 10, 11). The children really enjoyed it and we will go back. More
