Formally located at 950 Trout Brook Drive, West Hartford, The Children's Museum has moved to a temporary location at 180 Mohegan Drive, West Hartford. We welcome you to visit our new facility, where we share grounds with the Emanuel Synagogue.

The Children’s Museum offers hands-on fun with science and nature for younger children and families, school and community groups, and home-schooled children. At the museum and in classrooms throughout Connecticut, we encourage children to become creative thinkers and lifelong learners. Children engage in interactive labs, workshops, multi-sensory exhibits and demonstrations, a live wildlife sanctuary, state-of-the-art digital science dome planetarium shows and movies, vacation camps, sleepovers, birthday parties, scout activities, and special events. The unique Children’s Museum Preschool, co-located on the West Hartford campus, integrates science experiences into early childhood learning. Nearby Roaring Brook Nature Center in Canton offers environmental exhibits, nature programs, concerts, and acres of outdoor hiking, bird watching, and winter cross-country skiing.
