Connecticut Children's Museum

Connecticut Children's Museum is an educational facility in downtown New Haven with eight themed exhibition areas. These feature hands-on displays exploring science, nature, art, and history designed specifically for young learners.

The facility occupies a restored historic building located at the corner of Orange and Wall Streets in New Haven. This position links the New Haven Green with downtown and takes advantage of an established public gathering area.

The museum welcomes families from different backgrounds and uses multilingual materials throughout its spaces. Children encounter books and resources in many languages, making learning feel inclusive for visitors of all origins.

The museum is typically open on Fridays and Saturdays from noon to 5 PM for visitors. Families and groups can receive special rates, so it's worth checking about pricing options and group reservations in advance.

The building houses an NAEYC-accredited childcare center that runs year-round programs for children from 6 weeks to 5 years old. This facility operates as an integrated part of the museum complex, serving families seeking early childhood services.
