CONNECTICUT'S BEARDSLEY ZOO REVIEWS
Great zoo. They have an amazing range of animals. The park is super clean and the staff is super friendly and helpful. You must check out the peacock Cafe. The chef takes pride in the food that is served. He bakes his own cookies and muffins. He also makes the chicken tenders and to boot he makes sure every table is clean.
This is a cute zoo! My family started at the Maritime Aquarium in the morning and finished with the zoo in the afternoon. It’s very nice for being 99 years old. It’s also a very accessible zoo, for wheelchair users or for people who need quiet spaces! It took about an hour to do the whole loop and see everything, but it was very pleasant. It’s very well kept and all the flowers are beautiful.
Came here with my grandparents. Both were in wheelchairs. Got around pretty good despite the steep hills. Wish the indoor facilities had wheelchair accessible buttons to open the door. Staff was very nice and helpful. My grandparents had a great time. We even got to rent a wheelchair for free (grandpa got tired)

SACRED HEART UNIVERSITY DISCOVERY SCIENCE CENTER AND PLANETARIUM REVIEWS
We absolutely LOVE the Discovery Museum! Recently took my five year old for the MLK Day celebrations and she ate up every second of it. So much so, that she's requested to have her birthday party there this fall. Both she and my seven year old will be attending camp there this summer as well. This place is a hidden gem!
We just had my son’s birthday party here and had the best time. The room was beautiful, our host was amazing and the kids loved the planetarium show! The facility is really clean and full of interesting things to do.
If your kids love planets, then this place is amazing. There are also other things such as dinosaurs, science in motion, etc.
