The SEE Science Center is an interactive science center with hands-on exhibits in the heart of Manchester.

We were pleasantly surprised by the SEE Science Center! Coming from Boston, we're used to much larger museums and didn't have very high expectations. But we really enjoyed the SEE Science Center! Although we only spent a couple hours here, we could have stayed for the better part of the day!

The SEE Science Center spans two floors of a historic mill building in Manchester, New Hampshire. Exhibits cover human biology, biotechnology, the solar system, bubbles, simple machines, physics, Legos, and more! Every exhibit has some interactive features, which kept all three of our children busy. My sons especially loved building a tube track for golf balls along a magnetic wall and blowing giant bubbles. Each floor is one large room, which made it very easy for us to keep track of our children while allowing them the freedom to explore different exhibits at their own pace. We visited on a Saturday afternoon, but we didn't experience any crowds. 

The SEE Science Center is home to the LEGO® Millyard Project, the largest permanent LEGO® installation at minifigure scale in the world. It's a to-scale Lego model of Manchester’s Amoskeag Millyard as it might have looked circa 1900. According to SEE's website, the display was built with three million bricks! It's really impressive to look at and includes many placards with historical explanations about the different sections.
