Kidcity is designed for children ages 1 to 7 and most of our visitors are under age 5.We want everyone to have a safe visit - what's fun and appropriate for one child might be too risky for another. Please use your judgment when deciding which activities are right for your child. Note that Kidcity is not a playground or padded playspace; though there are a few low-key sliding and crawling activities, it's intended for pretend play.

Kidcity is open for free from 5 to 7 pm on the Third Thursday Evening of every month!

Because of limited space within our exhibits, Kidcity does not allow strollers beyond the coatroom, where we have stroller parking. We apologize if this makes a visit to the museum more difficult - unfortunately, it's a choice we had to make for safety's sake. If you don't have a baby sling or carrier, please ask to borrow one at the front desk. If you have a special need, please let us know and we will try to accommodate you!

The Toddler Sea Caves are restricted to age 2 and younger, so crawlers and early walkers have a place of their own. If you have both younger and older kids, please skip that room or bring a second grown-up so that your older children can play upstairs while you and your little one enjoy the Toddler area. If you have to miss the Sea Caves, please know that your toddlers will find age-appropriate activities within the other exhibits in the museum.

There's an exception to the age (0-2) rule : On the 1st day of every month, Kidcity offers "Big Swim" all day, so older siblings can join their younger brothers and sisters for gentle play in the Toddler Sea Caves. Grown-ups are asked to prevent climbing, running and other active play, since the area is still intended for crawlers & early walkers.

Kidcity offers birthday parties for children turning age 5 or younger. For up to 10 children, plus all of their accompanying adults, our parties include admission for all plus our private party room for a two-hour block. Bring refreshments to serve your guests and then enjoy free play in the museum! Parties are $250 on weekends; for details, please call our front desk at (860) 347-0495.

Kidcity has three floors of imagination play, where kids ages 1 to 7 play pretend with their favorite grown-ups. Our exhibits include a Fishery, where kids use conveyors and pulley baskets to bring in the catch; a Space Age Roadtrip, where friendly aliens take a trip on Route 66; and a pint-sized medieval village called Middleshire, where kids build a castle and keep watch for Vikings. For our littlest visitors we have the Toddler Sea Caves, where early walkers wave scarves and dance with mermaids. There's also a Main Street, a Farm, a Video Theater, and classics like trains, baby dolls and more. Kidcity also has the only known Celebrated Bathing Fluid Dispensary, invented by the renowned Dr. Nostrum, which is as entertaining as it is hygienic.
