ahh. a very cool place indeed! the kids learned all about recycling, the things that are recycled (typically) and were able to view the process through large second floor viewing windows which overlook the work area. there were loads of displays and hands on activites as well as sculpture and a structure made up of trash (aka) re-purposed and re-used material. there was a craft area to create new things out of old and tons of colorful recyling/trash-related info "littering" the walls. i must admit, i wasn't sure what to expect when a friend tipped me off about this place but i am pleasantly surprised-a place truly worth checking out in the city of hartford and... admission is free!
