Free Summer Museum Admission

July 1, 2021
The past year was very difficult for families across Connecticut as children and parents both navigated remote learning, new childcare demands, and social distancing measures. As our communities re-open, Connecticut has launched several summer enrichment initiatives to provide children with fun and educational opportunities that capitalize on the outstanding resources throughout our state.  

I am looking forward to exploring these resources with my kids this summer and I hope you are also able to enjoy this unique opportunity to explore many of our state’s museums and historic landmarks for free.

 

Starting today, July 1st, all children—plus one accompanying adult—will receive free admission to over 90 museums across Connecticut. This program will be offered through September 6th to all Connecticut children, ages 18 and under.
 
This initiative will be available at museums, science centers, aquariums, and historical landmarks across the state. Fairfield’s own, Fairfield Museum and History Center is participating in this free-admission initiative. Additional participating centers include the Connecticut Science Center, Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo, the Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk, Mystic Aquarium, and Mystic Seaport Museum.
