If you happen to be visiting New Britain with children you should make a point to take them to visit the New Britain Youth Museum for a couple of hours of interactive fun activities. Your children can join various educational programs which could include meeting animals, story-telling sessions and art sessions for children over 7 years and much more. The museum offers a special “Sisters in Science” program to introduce girls to the magical world of science from age five, with the express purpose of getting more girls interested in the sciences. The museum has an outdoor nature center where children can learn about the natural world as they follow an outdoor trail.
