Embark on a pint-sized adventure with your little ones at the Connecticut Science Center’s Toddler Tuesday. On select Tuesdays, the Science Center transforms into a magical playland tailored just for our youngest explorers, ages 6 and under. In a relaxed, crowd-controlled environment, toddlers can dive into a world of discovery at their own pace, free from the hustle and bustle of older kids.

MARCH THEME: RAINBOWS & LUCK

Get ready for a day filled with Rainbows and Luck. Kids will embark on an exciting treasure hunt for hidden gold nuggets, explore glowing rocks and shimmering fish that sparkle like a rainbow, and discover the magic of light and shadow with playful four-leaf clover patterns. They’ll also get hands-on with creativity—building their own kaleidoscopes using magnet tile mirrors to craft dazzling visuals. Plus, sensory sorting activities will strengthen fine motor skills in a fun and engaging way. Every adventure is a burst of color, curiosity, and giggles—where little ones soak up the joy and luck of the rainbow!
