Outdoors, visitors can explore nature trails and exhibits on wind, water, and sound in David Goudy Science Park. Visiting exhibitions, educational programs, and special events are offered throughout the year.
The Montshire Museum of Science is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that is supported by admission, membership, grants, and charitable contributions.
On Saturday, January 26, 2019, the Montshire Museum of Science will host Astronomy Day, an event packed with activities that examine and celebrate the wonders of the Earth, the moon, and the stars.

Montshire educators and guest astronomers will share their knowledge and offer a hands-on learning experience that will cover topics ranging from stars and planets to comets and meteorites.
Astronomy Day is the perfect complement to Destination: Space! (opening January 12) — a new series of exhibitions that highlights the art and science of space exploration and celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission’s moon landing.
Destination: Space! features three special exhibitions:
From cosmic inspiration to lunar exploration, come enjoy a truly out-of-this world experience.
