Ecotarium - New England Science Center The Ecotarium has gone through many name changes over the years. It used to be known as the Worcester Science Center, and then the New England Science Center. Whatever you call it, it is a lot of fun. I have photos of myself as a young child, standing with arms outstretched by the Bald Eagle cage. I now have photos of my son doing the exact same thing!
The Ecotarium boasts a planetarium, a rideable small scale train, wild animals and ecological exhibits. There's even a polar bear habitat. You can learn quite a lot about the local wildlife through their exhibits. There is even a treetop exhibit where you can move from tree to tree, seeing what it might be like to live in a rainforest.
Looking for a truly authentic New England gift? Clearly Cranberry soap is handmade in Massachusetts! Cranberries are a New England tradition and this clear red soap smells just like sweet cranberry sauce. Yum!
