The main branch in Bridgeport. The third floor has a well-maintained historical collection with rotating exhibits and lots of genealogy information.
Exhibits about P.T. Barnum and the history of the city. It is downtown, within walking distance to some great architecture downtown.
Bridgeport's seaside park so to speak. It was made possible by the foresight of PT Barnum who wished for people to have access to the waterfront when at the time it was all privatized, and includes a statue of him, cannons, and a drive-thru arch, plus plenty of skyline and coastal views.
A wide variety of ecosystems presented, including a rainforest building, as well as tigers, otters, bison, etc. During the summer, usually late July/early August there are free theatrical showings, usually Shakespeare called "Shakespeare in the Park". The Beardsley park is also a lovely place to picnic.
