The EcoTarium is a science and nature museum located in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Previously known as the New England Science Center, the museum features several permanent and traveling exhibits, as well as a variety of wildlife including a polar bear named Kenda. Kenda's mother, Ursa Minor, lived at the museum until her death in 2001 at the age of 36, making her one of the oldest captive polar bears.
