Hello John, You might put the Montshire Museum of Science on your list. www.montshire.net One Montshire Road Norwich, VT 05055 It's a slightly different model than most science centers. With something like 80 acres of trails and other outdoor experiences, they have a strong natural sciences emphasis - stronger than technology. They do an exceptional job with children of all ages, remaining true to their science content. Smart people. Best of luck on your colleague's project.
