Mashantucket Pequot Museum & Research Center

Been there last February, great moment with my daughter. We really enjoyed this magnificent place and bautiful tribute to the native s culture. A part was closed, the tower, workers .. but hope Will come back in summer to see others things outside. Took a lot a pic and informations to deliver to French students by PowerPoint . Big Aho from 🇫🇷🙏

Contemplative and informative.

This is the best museum I've even been to and it's right in my back yard. We spent three hours walking around and didn't see everything. Quality exhibits and great stories. Well worth it! Get a membership if you are local.

It was amazing! Well worth the trip from maine!

A fascinating museum with lots of information about the Pequot tribe. There are a few large dioramas and recreations of large animals. The massive village mockup is truly amazing. Kids were so happy running around and exploring the details. A couple of downsides, there aren't any specifically kid friendly interactive exhibits, which means parents need to be engaged with them at all times. Also the interactive video presentations are great, but the videos lack style and energy to match the visuals in front of you. They take an interesting subject and make it boring (and I love this stuff). We spent about 3.5 hours coming through all the details, the outdoor exhibits and the tower. You could probably do it reasonable well in 2 hours. Any less and you'll be missing a lot

Great for the adults, entertaining for the kids, a hard balance for museums to strike but it does it amazingly. Generally not a diorama fan but they took it to another level! Consider jumping over to the Foxwoods arcade and dinner afterwards

Museum exhibits and gallery you must see. Groups must take advantage of programs offered. Teach your children well about Indigenous culture, traditions, histories, herstories, spirituality, and don't let language fade. Listen to the Elders' stories carefully. Keep those in your heart and minds to pass on to 7 generations+... Write them down, leaving the truth of family and family members, your tribe for all to know. It might forge better understanding. Go and see the great determination of a strong, honorable Tribe.
I went to do personal research for a 2nd book about heritage. Ahéhee (Diné) for a wonderful, moving experience. Yes, thank you, indeed.

Fun experience for the whole family

Nice that it is viewing Fina. Timeline and attention to detail.

We visited the Mashantucket Pequot Museum & Research Center this past weekend and were absolutely blown away. The museum is not only beautifully designed, but also incredibly educational. Every exhibit was thoughtfully curated, bringing history to life in a way that was engaging for both adults and children.

Our kids especially loved the immersive displays—walking through the life-sized village scenes and learning about the Pequot people’s history and culture left a lasting impression on them. It’s rare to find a museum where young children are so captivated and genuinely interested in learning.

The staff was warm, welcoming, and eager to answer any questions. You could truly feel their pride in the stories being told. We left feeling more informed, inspired, and grateful for the experience.

This is a must-visit for anyone in the area. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, make time for this remarkable museum—you won’t regret it!

The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. It's not like any other museum I've been to before. It really transported me to the different time periods set up to show the history of the tribe.

Awesome

Me and my family always love when the PowWow is going on it is such a beautiful and spiritual experience. The ancestors and Veterens that are being honored. It is a must see. The museum is a wonderful experience. The elevator ride up or walking the spiral 🌀 walkway is a beautiful view.

When you visit here you will want to return often. Over the several years me and my family lived in Connecticut, the security guards are so professional, nice, and informative. We appreciate their friendship over the years. You make the M P museum a place to be proud to visit. I love the view from the top of the museum. It is fantastic. Such beautiful birch trees.

Visited for the first time on Friday and I haven’t stopped talking about it since! The history and artifacts are incredible. The wax figures are so lifelike it’s unreal. Thank you for an amazing experience!!

Last admission is at 4pm, which means even if you arrive at 4:01 you cannot go in. Also the front desk is rude
