Most of these “kinetic-display” science museums are geared for kids, but since I am just a big kid I like them too. :)
Some photos from a visit to the Connecticut Science Center in Hartford.
For those who don't know, I live in a converted campervan and am traveling around the country, posting photo diaries of places that I have visited. :)
