    If kids on a fieldtrip are acting up, don't be afraid to tell the staff in each exhibit. They'll handle it!

    Museum is FANTASTIC! But, if you park in the garage, it closes soon after the museum - so double check the hours with the attendant. We went out for dinner after and was almost locked in!

    Cafe is closed until mid February for renovations, so bring lunch or plan to go to a nearby restaurant if you need lunch or dinner.

    Check out the Hartford Marriott site for a promotion. We stayed for $139 overnight which gave us the room, 2 adult, 2 children tickets to the Science Center plus breakfast in the AM

    Avoid parking on Grove street - or probably anywhere on the street - my friends had their car broken into. There's a huge Science Center garage. Use it.
