With four main galleries, a toddlers-only gallery and over 100 hands-on activities, Stepping Stones offers children ages ten and under plenty to explore and discover.
This childrens museum has been renovated and everything is new. In one room they have a cafe with a couple of selections of food. Their is a water room with balls to play with and don't worry about bringing a bathing suit because they provide smocks for the children. The hands on exhibits and educational programs inspire every child. Adults $14,Children $14 Children under 1 Free, Seniors (over 62) $10. Plan on staying a while!
We love this place! There is a variety of interactive displays that truly are versatile for children of all ages. My child especially loved the water room (smocks are provided) and there is even a specific play area just for toddlers where big kids can't play. There are so many different things to do that every time you go it feels like a brand-new experience. If you dislike crowds I'd advise you to avoid on the weekends!
We took our 3 year old here this summer because we had the pass to get into all museums in CT, so although it was over an hour drive for us we thought we would just go for it and see how it was. It was SO much fun. They have so many interactive exhibits that really were amazing. THe kids got to see how things worked and could participate in it. The staff were friendly and we will def be taking the drive up again.
We will definitely be back. Lots of great exhibits to see, play, learn and interact with (the water room); many photo ops. Our active then 3 yo son really loved it and did not want to leave. On the other end of the shared parking lot: bonus, a Boundless Playground called Devon's Place!
This museum is best visited in the summer. They have fun acitivities inside and out. There are areas for little ones with soft structures to climb on and crawl through. There's a water works room where kids can launch and watch things float around the various cascading pools. The bubble area located outside but in the center of the round building is great for kids to make and explore bubbles. Good fun all around.
