Family Story Time

Join us for family story time at the Museum! Cozy up with beanbags and pillows and enjoy a reading of a book all about creativity and innovation. Then, families will be challenged to embrace their own inventive spirit by getting crafty in the Inspire Center!

Family Movie Night: Elemental

What happens when fire and water join forces? Join us for a special showing of "Elemental," and follow Ember, a strong-willed fire person, and Wade, a fun-loving water person, on their adventures through Element City and Firetown! Families will then get a goody bag to take home that includes hands-on activities related to main themes of the movie.

Family Program: Mug-nificent Masterpieces

Espresso yourself with coffee art! Families will make one-of-a-kind coffee mugs, try their hand at cappuccino-inspired foam art, and design collages using a variety of coffee materials. For inspiration, families can explore the exhibit "Coffee: A Connecticut Story."

Family Movie Night: Cars

Lightning McQueen wins again! Join us for a special showing of Cars, a movie about a famous, trouble-making racecar who finds himself stranded along Route 66. Watch as he forms unexpected friendships with a group of silly, fun-loving cars and trucks from the tiny town of Radiator Springs. Families will then get a goody bag full of hands-on activities all about automobile manufacturing in Connecticut.
