About Connecticut Children's Museum
The Connecticut Children's Museum sits inside the Children's Building on Wall Street in New Haven. Each room holds interactive exhibits paired with children's books, encouraging young visitors to explore, make things, and express themselves. The museum shares its building with a child care center and a provider training program, and all three follow a learning philosophy based on multiple intelligences. Groups can visit during the school year and summer, and the venue also hosts birthday parties, family gatherings, and corporate or community events.
