The Museum is located on a 110-acre site along the Connecticut River, and the Museums' outdoor environment is a large part of the visitor experience. Science Park is a two-acre exhibit area in a beautiful, park-like setting where hands-on exploration of hydraulics truly becomes an immersion experience. Also outside is a network of easy-to-moderate walking trails for visitors of all ages and fitness levels, and an outdoor pavilion.
