Café on the Park features bistro-style seating near floor-to-ceiling windows that allow diners to take in magnificent views of the Park. The menu is ever-changing, seasonal and eclectic and features Connecticut-grown products whenever available. It features gourmet sandwiches and wraps, savory soups, salads, homemade desserts and an array of beverages including local favorite Avery’s brand soda.
Arranged in advance through the Museum's Education Department, groups touring the Museum may order boxed lunches or hot and cold entrées. Depending on the size of the tour group, seating will be either in the café or in a private room.
