“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

“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.”

– Milica, Eastchester, NY

“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
