• Our rollback roof outdoor observation deck will have leading technology and telescopes to expand our science offerings. This will benefit our schools, public programs, adult enrichment, and community events. • The addition of the Planetarium & Astronomy Center will be a profound cultural tourism game changer for Stamford and the State of Connecticut. • Nowhere in the Mid-Atlantic is there an attraction with features that the Stamford Museum & Nature Center offers. Our visitors will look at the sky through real solar and night-sky telescopes. • Our enhanced science curriculum will support state education standards and solidify our position as the premier destination for astronomy and science education, a signature of our Mission. • We are keenly excited to serve as a profound nature and science- based resource for communities that long to have this educational programming in their own backyards.
