Children's Museums in Connecticut

Learning Can Be Fun at These Family- Friendly Places

There are many museums in the state of Connecticut. Art museums, historical museums, science museums, even a carousel museum and a vintage radio and television museum. While these facilities are well- attended by many adults, they are often unsuitable or inappropriate for children, particularly very young children. Quite frankly, many children are often bored by museums. Fortunately, for the younger set and parents alike, there are several excellent children's museums open to the public, in Ct. Presented here is a guide to five excellent children's museums in Ct.

A) Children's Museum of Southeastern Connecticut..409 Main St, Niantic, Ct..(860)691-1111
Located on Ct's seacoast, the Children's Museum of Southeastern Connecticut is a hands- on, interactive museum. A truly fascinating place, they feature a wide variety of live animals and arts, science and craft activities. Toddlers will love "Nursery Rhyme Land" and people of all ages are regularly enthralled by the "Anne Frank's Attic" exhibit. There is also a "Global Village" exhibit and a "Can- struct" building exhibit. Weather permitting, there is an outdoor play area at this children's museum, featuring giant chimes, a climbing wall, a pond and a whale drum. The most interesting item there however, would probably have to be their real two- person research submarine, which fascinates both children and adults alike. This is a wonderful children's museum, in a lovely section of Ct.
