With more than 150 hands-on exhibits, the Connecticut Science Center offers interactive amusement for visitors of all ages. Befriend our future electronic overlords at the Robots + Us exhibit, or explore the eye-healing, lecture-disrupting precision of lasers at the LaserLab. The Gallery Science hosts live demonstrations that validate science for skeptical children. The combination ticket also includes admission to one showing at the center's 3-D movie theater, which boasts a gigantic 1,200-square-foot screen. Visitors can experience a pilot's-eye view of all things aviation in Legends of Flight or feel the burn at 3-D Sun, which brings viewers within a wing's tip of the sun's surface without Icarusian consequences.
