Worcester’s EcoTarium is not a huge museum (indoors, at least) but it’s a fun place for kids and their adults to explore science and nature with plenty of interactive exhibits. The outdoor campus stretches over 45 acres, featuring live animal displays, miles of walking trails, and even a train ride that circles the grounds.
