Day Trippers!
Stamford Museum & Nature Center
One Stop Shopping For Fun!
Sarah Cody, Reporter
Stamford —
The biggest problem facing you at the Stamford Museum and Nature Center? There's too much to do!
The 118-acre former home of clothes designer Henri Bendel offers beautiful hiking trails and a revolutionary playground that's designed to bring a child into an animal's habitat. Inside the tudor style mansion, you'll find an art gallery and a planetarium! Another building houses studio space for drawing lessons and fingerpainting!
The grounds also feature an observatory with a massive telescope and a real, working New England farm complete with goats, llamas and pigs!
Be prepared to get tuckered out by the end of the day!
