Support KidsPlay’s 2024 Year End Appeal!

Imagine a place where children can be builders, artists, chefs, and storytellers—all in a single day. Somewhere their imaginations are ignited, their creativity flourishes, and their curiosity leads to discovery.

Look no further than KidsPlay Children’s Museum, a space that brings joy and wonder to every child who walks through its doors. 

Behind the fun is serious work: addressing challenges like excessive screen time, social isolation, and diminishing opportunities for unstructured, interactive play. KidsPlay is a sanctuary where children can engage their imaginations and develop the critical thinking and social skills that will carry them through life.

With your help in 2024 we:

  • Opened new exhibits like the Raceway and Little House, providing fresh opportunities for exploration and creativity.
  • Launched the Hub@KidsPlay, a groundbreaking initiative connecting families to resources and fostering equity across Northwest Connecticut.
  • Welcomed a record number of children through free or reduced-price admission and memberships for those in need.
  • Hosted Sensory Friendly Playtimes to ensure children of all abilities can enjoy the museum.

There is so much more to do. Like many nonprofits, KidsPlay faces rising costs, and admissions cover less than half of our operating expenses. Your gift helps caregivers find the safe, family-focused place they’ve imagined in downtown Torrington.

We invite you to join us in making an extraordinary impact on the lives of children and families in our community.

Make a gift to the KidsPlay 2024 Year End Appeal today!
