Earth is home to over a million species of animals! Discover the characteristics that group these animals together then compare their differences. Visitors will enjoy seeing skeletons, furs, scales, and so much more. Meet three separate live animal species during this program.

On the same grounds is the Connecticut Fire Museum complete with antique fire trucks and apparatus. All activities and Fire Truck Museum entrance is included with your admission price.

For the convenience of all, food and refreshments will be available for purchase.

Every Monday throughout the summer at 11am & 2pm join us for Storytime Trolley featuring stories about the adventures of trolleys and trains. The reading will be inside one of our historic trolleys and a trolley ride will follow. Every story is different and all ages are welcome!

Put your building skills to the test and compete in a LEGO Contest during your visit building Trains or Trolleys from the past and future.

Creations stay at the Museum to be broken down at the end of the day. This program will run every Friday from 11am-3pm until August 17th.
