Inspiring a passion for science and nature for 200 years.
关于我们
The EcoTarium is a historical museum in Worcester, Massachusetts, with indoor/outdoor interactive exhibits to inspire a passion for science and nature. The EcoTarium offers three floors of interactive exhibits, shows in the Alden Digital Planetarium, daily Science Discovery programs, live animal habitats, hikes through forest and meadow nature trails, an express train ride around the grounds (seasonal), and unlimited play in the expansive outdoor exhibit, Nature Explore?. The EcoTarium is well rooted in the Worcester community as an organization dedicated to the study of science and nature. The private, non-profit institution was founded in 1825 as the Worcester Lyceum of Natural History and was incorporated in 1884 as the Worcester Natural History Society — EcoTarium's legal identity. A transition from the New England Science Center to the EcoTarium in 1998 refocused the museum in the natural sciences and hands-on exploration and discovery. Much of the museum's work today continues to reflect the ideologies and practices adopted almost 200 years ago.

Shoutout to the EcoTarium for including me in this year’s Community Curator exhibit and letting me choose which animal to feature. I picked the American Badger because it reminds me of my students — resilient, persistent, and ready to take on anything, even if it’s bigger than them. ???? thank you Katie Chappell and Noreen Johnson Smith for including me in this year’s exhibit! #CommunityPartners #GEARUP #Internships #Ecotarium #StudentSuccess #ThankYou

Senator Moore has been a CHAMPION for the environment and his district, which includes the EcoTarium! And, he has artistic talent!
Yesterday, EcoTarium invited me to show off my art skills and paint a tile for their America Connects National Mural project! This tile will be one of nearly 2,000 tiles that will make up a unique mural, each hand-painted by someone from the Worcester community and beyond. I am so excited to see this project be unveiled next month as part of EcoTarium's 200th anniversary celebration. Thanks again to President Noreen Johnson Smith and the whole EcoTarium family for the opportunity!
