KidsPlay Children's Museum - Torrington, Connecticut

This is an awesome museum founded in 2012. They have a small parking lot on the backside of the building. The customer service was friendly. This place is welcoming to people from all walks of life, it feels very inclusive. Tip: we got discounted museum tickets from the library. We easily spent three hours there and my children loved everything minute of it.

Children are encouraged to pretend play. Exhibits are created for kids ages 1 to 10. Everything was hands-on, educational, and invokes the different senses. The Museum was organized by room and theme. We went to the dentist, grocery store/garden, diner, bank, tree house, a stage, music room. There was an area you can "paint" with a wet brush on the wall. A mini firetruck, a maker space, a toddler area, and various exhibits. The interactive floor was another favorite. There was an area where kids can drive on mini cars. They have many events. You can even host a birthday party there. I'm very appreciative of their Asian Culture exhibit; there's a Japan, China, and South Korean display. Overall, we had a fun time playing with the kids there.

What an amazing place! Kids from infants to late elementary all love this place. They can spend hours here. Grown ups appreciate the seating and also enjoy getting in on the fun here and there too. What an absolute gem. Great toilets, no problem parking. Everything is clean and well-kept. Very friendly staff. Love it!

Amazing place. There is so much to do and explore. The price for this much fun is definitely worth it. There is no shortage of things to do here. The staff is very welcoming, the entire building was very clean and easily accessible for parents to interact with their children as well. Would definitely recommend. The reservation process was extremely easy. Paying for parking was simple as well (online or with coins).

This kids museum is well maintained and kept very clean. The front desk staff are very polite and lovely. This place has a wide variety of hands on play for both kids and their caretakers. They expanded the space sometime last year and it has made this place extra awesome! I can't forget to compliment the ladies that handle the arts and crafts. They are very friendly and super sweet to children.

Wonderful and engaging place for toddlers. Everything is on one floor, but has a great concentration of hands on exhibits. There is a schedule of arts & crafts activities lead by the staff. We tried the paper airplane making and throwing for distance class which was definitely a hit. The staff is very friendly and accommodating with the kids. This was our first time here and we'll definitely come again when we're in the area.

I took my 1 1/2 year old toddler here for the first time. Parking was very tricky so get there early! It was such a a fun place for him. He loved nearly every station there, safe for a few "big kid" areas. We paid $2/person as part of the Museums of All program and it was well worth it.

Excellent children’s museum! It’s relatively small, but they packed a lot of stuff in here. I’d say it’s better than the Stepping Stones in Norwalk, Everwonder in Newtown, and the Discovery Center in Bridgeport; almost as good as KidCity in Middletown. I went on a weekday (Thursday) and it was pretty empty.

PRICING: They accept ACM, so I got a 50% discount, but it’s normally $10/person, for anyone older than one year old.
FACILITIES: super clean and organized for a children’s museum
PARKING: on the street, for three hours - get the ParkMobile app. There’s free, but limited, parking behind the museum too.
FOOD: vending machines and snack tables inside. Plenty of food options nearby.
