Story

The Connecticut Children's Museum is located in the Children's Building in New Haven, Connecticut, which houses three programs interwoven in purpose and philosophy: Creating Kids Child Care Center, Creating Curriculum Child Care Provider Training Program, and the Connecticut Children's Museum itself. These programs are inspired by the theory of Multiple Intelligences which concludes that children learn in different ways.PhilosophyThe Children's Museum is based on the idea that children need a place where they can escape the world around them to experience the magic and wisdom of learning at their own pace by interacting with the exhibits. The exhibits are intended to foster creativity and use of the imagination. The museum provides educators, working in a myriad of programs throughout the city, with a place to bring their children to help inspire creative minds. Through its colorful exhibits, children can interact with others in the community, where they can play and learn together.

Children are too good to play and educational.There is also an elevator. However, it is doubtful whether there is a parking space. I parked on the street, but I felt overburdened. There was no staff inside so there was also a cluttered space.

The museum is broken up into different rooms,each focusing on a different learning style. My children enjoyed their time there. It was not as engaging for me as other museums, but then again, it is a children's museum

It's a great museum - a 5 star museum with 1 star hours hence a 3 star review. Only 2 half days a week makes it nearly impossible to enjoy this special place! Adding even one more weekday would be huge!!!

Small, interactive but not really engaging. Storytime was boring.

Starting with a delightful welcome at the front desk, this is A Magical place for kids and grownups.
