2025 Montshire Museum

Inside each of us there is a scientist, driven by curiosity and the allure of the unknown. The promise of discovery leads to the Montshire Museum of Science, where every day is a day of discovery!

At the Montshire, enjoy a truly unique experience, with over 150 exciting hands-on science exhibits, both indoors and out, a 100-acre destination located along the Connecticut River, spectacular views, and amazing opportunities for discovery.

Join us for a fun day at the Montshire Museum of Science in Norwich, VT (Just over the NH border). This is always a favorite museum for kids. We will meet at the museum at 10 am. Please plan to arrive by 9:45 am as we must enter as a group. You may stay as long as you would like; the museum closes at 5 pm.

Be sure to pack a lunch to enjoy outdoors. There are many picnic tables available on site.

If you are interested, the museum will be hosting the following activities the day of our visit.

FYI The outdoor exhibit includes water. Plan ahead for your child to get wet. You may want to bring a towel and dry clothes for the drive home.

The David Goudy Science Park features an array of interactive water-based exhibits that are centered around The Rill, a 250-foot long watercourse that takes a meandering path from the Museum building toward the river. The Rill flows down a series of terraces, and at several places visitors can manipulate dams and sluices to change the direction or volume of flowing water. Young hydrologists can store up a mini-flood and then release it to the lower part of the Rill.
