It used to be known as the Worcester Science Center, and then the New England Science Center. Whatever you call it, it is a lot of fun. I have photos of myself as a young child, standing with arms outstretched by the Bald Eagle cage. I now have photos of my son doing the exact same thing! The Ecotarium boasts a planetarium, a rideable small scale train, wild animals and ecological exhibits. There's even a polar bear habitat. You can learn quite a lot about the local wildlife through their exhibits. There is even a treetop exhibit where you can move from tree to tree, seeing what it might be like to live in a rainforest.http://www.ecotarium.orgPrinter Friendly Version The Worcester Kids Ideas Category The Worcester Massachusetts Pages Tweet
