Hi, thanks for your questions! We are a science and nature museum. However, we are a smaller museum (compared to Museum of Science in Boston, etc.) and our traveling exhibit is usually targeted for younger audiences. Our other spaces welcome all ages and include live animals and live animal demos. We also have a 3D theater where you can watch science and nature films. We also have a top deck with a spectacular view of Lake Champlain. We hope you come visit!
