What Our Visitors Have To Say
“This place is amazing! Great for a wide range of ages. Science, art, reading, pretend play – all on hand. Membership is a total slam-dunk and very reasonable if you come back a few times. Beats any other children’s museum we’ve been to.”
- Nicholas, Norwalk, CT
“As a grandmother of two boys, aged 6 and 9, I love visiting Stepping Stones! The interaction between them and all the displays is fantastic! They share and delight in all the action and activities. I can participate as much as I want or I can observe their joy. Love you Stepping Stones!”
- Linda, Bridgeport, CT
“We bought a membership after our first visit because my children spent hours there and still wanted more. I love that the family membership is the same price no matter how many children you have – a win for big families.”
- Milicia, Eastchester, NY
“We were members 15 years ago when my kids were small. It was amazing then. Just became members again with a new little one. I cannot believe how much better it is now. There are soooo many things to do. You need a few visits to get to everything. Thank you”
- Dawn C.
“We visited Stepping Stones Museum for Children first time today with the family. The experience was very pleasant. This museum is very clean, staff is courteous, helping and knowledgeable. Staff goes above and beyond to make your experience pleasant. It's fun and learning experience for kids. We highly recommend this and we will plan to return here!!!”
- Jagat P.
“It's great place for kids to play a lot of fun and activities . It's my kids favorite place they may stay there for hours .The stuff are very friendly and helpful.”
- Bijou (July 26')
“I have been taking my grandson here for a while and he absolutely loves it. There are a multitude of activities for children to do which includes indoor and outdoor. The associates there are so wonderful and interactive with the kids that it makes it a very welcoming place. It is a to go place when kids need activities to do or to burn off some energy.”
- Mitchell R.
“Hands down the place to be. I regret not getting the membership when my toddlers were 6months old. A great place for tummy time, &crawling in their pre-walker area. Tot town is great for 6months to max 4 yrs old. My twins have been going since they were 13 months. They adore the puppet shows, the sensory stations, pretend play exhibits and the book nook. Get the membership, it's totally worth it.”
- MP (July 26')
“Highly recommend from a teacher. This is a fantastic museum for introducing children to the way the world works in a fun way. We drive from Dutchess NY to come here because I remember taking my kids here 20 years ago! Now they have expanded to become even better with more activities and even an outdoor shaded space to play.”
- Christine A (July 26')
