Damian at the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History, New Haven, 2010
*This being Connecticut, the town listing is way more complicated than it should be with all of our often better-known towns and cities and boroughs within the true 169 towns. I’m forced to make some difficult decisions regarding the truly confusing ones. The following cities/boroughs/town museums will be listed under the real town they are within (in parentheses):
Danielson (Killingly)
Mashantucket/Pequot (Ledyard)
Mystic (Groton or Stonington)
Uncasville/Mohegan (Montville)
Rockville (Vernon)
Storrs (Mansfield)
Willimantic (Windham)
Winsted (Winchester)

Hi there,
Love your quest and your website! Just wanted to say that I hope you visit us at Kidcity in Middletown before your little one outgrows us! I know you’ve got a lot of places to go, but I just thought I’d formally extend the invitation. By the way, you seem to be prime candidate for the reciprocal card for the children’s museums (6 in CT, that’s a lot of admission — or do you check passes out of libraries?) You can learn more at Kidcity or at http://www.childrensmuseums.org, which lists all the children’s museums in the country (or most of them.) We’ve been to several dozen around the country, but that pales in comparision with your goals! Good Luck! -Jen from Kidcity (you mentioned Wes, are you an alum?)
Hi, your website is great. Your museum write-ups are very entertaining and informative, and I think all the museums would benefit from photos of their exhibits and descriptions. You are a great source for some little known museums, and your information for some of them is much better than what they have on their websites.
If you get down to Fairfield County, here are two one-day ideas:
Westport/Fairfield: Earthplace, Wheeler House, Connecticut Audubon Birdcraft Museum and Fairfield History Center. All are a short way off the Post Road {Route 1), although you would likely be best off with three in one day.
Norwalk – All the Norwalk museums are pretty close to each other, and your son would love Stepping Stones and the Maritime Aquarium.
Enjoy your adventures!
My comments really add that special something to your reviews.
Your welcome ~

Thank you for putting together this very exciting and useful website! It is a thrill to read about all of the fantastic museums in Connecticut. Not only do we get to read about your experiences but gain great insight into where we “museum lovers” may want to go next! It would be a pleasure to have you visit the Mattatuck Museum Arts & History Center. Our regional history exhibit is brand new with many interactive features that engage all ages in the joy of learning. If you decide to visit us let me know that you are coming, it would be a pleasure to meet you and your family.
I came to your site here after seeing your “tornado” photo at Brownstone Birding. I am not sure about your photo but I do like your museum lists. I didn’t have time to thoroughly peruse your list to find it, but do you recall a “Submarine Museum” here in Middletown on Washington St. I think is was a privately run affair in someone’s home. I don’t think it’s there any longer because the sign has been taken down. I will link to you on my “Conservacity” blog.
Whoops! You are really way ahead of me; I just noticed your article about the “Sub” museum; great work!
Excellent site!!!!
Hi – We recently visited CT and almost drove off the road when we saw your famous sign! Also read your article in Museum News. We have visited some of the sites you have written about, and look forward to visiting others. However, having second thoughts about trying some of those drinks (!) Keep traveling – have fun!
Having just learned about your web site and goal to visit all CT museums, we at the Children’s Museum of Southeastern Connecticut would be pleased to treat you, Hoang, and Damian to a day at our museum. All we ask in exchange is a follow-up conversation, either in person or on the telephone. Over the past 3 years our focus has been to create a friendly, engaging, creative museum that is safe and accessible for all. We value your experience, both as a father and truly experienced museum visitor! When you come, remember to plan for a day: we’ll provide you with a beach pass, free of charge, to the nearby Hole-in the-Wall Beach on Long Island Sound – but please call ahead so we can put it aside for you. There is also a lovely state park and plenty of other family-friendly activities in the area, but you probably already know that. To find out more, please visit our site: http://www.childrensmuseumsect, or call our executive director, Christy Hammond at (860) 691-1111. Hope to hear from you soon!
Hey Steve-
This is so great. Seems like you’ve been everywhere. We are always looking for fun, inexpensive things to do with the kids and now I have a resource to go to. The contact me link seems not work for me, so please let me know how I can reach you. Give my best to your family.
