EcoTarium
About this place
A museum of science and nature, the EcoTarium has been serving the community and its needs for nearly two centuries. Situated on a beautiful 44-acre campus close to the urban heart of Worcester, the museum offers a 60,000 sq. ft. museum spanning three stories and providing a range of unique exhibits incorporating hands-on interactives, natural history specimens, and live wildlife including the new Wild Cat Station, home to two orphaned cougar kittens unable to survive in the wild. The museum’s extensive grounds offer a range of native wildlife habitats, the Nature Explore® Outdoor Exhibit designed to encourage young children to learn and play in nature, as well as a range of landscaped and natural grounds with walking trails and two ponds. Additional features include our Alden Planetarium, the Explorer Express Narrow-Gauge Railway, and a range of daily public programming, school field trip options, community events & much more.
