The Discovery Museum is a really fun time for kids of most ages. The planetarium is of coiurse the highlight of the museum, we saw the planet show geared towards younger kids, and my son had a great time, although it was a bit tough keeping him quiet! He also had fun shooting hoops, and checking out all the hand on exhibits. There is also a section for toddlers which is very hand on as well. And the building is very nice and contemporary.

I had heard very little of the Discovery Museum but decided to take the kids on a blistering hot day. What a pleasant surprise, a nice modern building overlooking the woods (this is Bridgeport!). We enjoyed many offerings: The kids observatory show, the mini movies in the theatre (age appropriate and included with the admission), the germ, dinosaur & basketball exhibits, the children's play area (lots to do in a small area), the echo chamber and lots of hands on science. My kids are on the young side but enjoyed themselves so much we bought a membership. (A bargain compared to pricing at the Stepping stones Museum) Go you'll like it.
