About this activity

The Berkshire Museum has a great deal to offer to all families and children that visit! It's an enjoyable learning experience for all who want to immerse themselves in history, science and art!

The Feigenbaum Hall of Innovation features 3,000 square feet of interactive exhibits and experiments celebrating innovations originating in Berkshire, so you can really gain an understanding of how the area grew to be what it is today!

The Wold in Miniature offers 14 very cool miniature scenes depicting animals and plants in their native habitats, so kids can learn about ecology and geography across the globe. 

There are exhibits on rock and minerals found in the earth, and the Berkshire Backyard exhibit showcases the wildlife found in the local forests, fields, lakes and streams! 

Did we mention at the Berkshire Museum there is also an aquarium too? Yep! There are over 35 tanks featuring ocean life from the cave fish, seahorses, and more!

The permanent collections comprise some 30,000 artistic objects on rotation while travelling and special exhibitions keep repeat visits fresh, so you can always go back and see something new!

The Berkshire Museum is also home to the Little Cinema, which shows a discerning selection of world works.

A day of learning, hands-on exploration and family fun where history comes to life, natural science can be fun, and art is inspirational!
