Holiday Enchantment at the Connecticut Science Center

The Connecticut Science Center in Hartford will sparkle with festive magic during Holiday Enchantment, taking place from November 15 through December 21, 2025. Every corner of the Science Center will be transformed into a cheerful holiday experience filled with interactive exhibits, hands-on fun, and dazzling decorations.

Guests can stroll through a snow-covered forest of twinkling trees, take photos among whimsical holiday displays, and even glide across an indoor “ice” rink—no skates required. Families can also enjoy creative crafts in the maker space, where visitors can make and take home their own holiday-inspired projects. Throughout the season, guests will be treated to lively science demonstrations that combine festive themes with exciting experiments.

Santa and Mrs. Claus will make special appearances for photos and holiday wishes on select dates, including November 28–30 from 11 am to 3 pm, December 6 from 12 pm to 2 pm, and December 7, 13–14, and 20–21 from 11 am to 3 pm.

Holiday Enchantment is included with General Admission. The Connecticut Science Center is located at 250 Columbus Boulevard, Hartford, Connecticut. For tickets and additional information, visit ctsciencecenter.org.
