About the Museum

The Stepping Stones Museum for Children is a hands-on museum specifically designed for children aged 10 and under. It is situated at 303 West Avenue within the Central district of Norwalk, Connecticut. It features various interactive exhibit areas, including a theater, a broadcast studio, and a high-definition screen. Within the entrance lobby stands the ColorCoaster, a kinetic sculpture spanning 27 feet (8.2 m), made by the artist George Rhoads. In the museum's surroundings is a garden with three kinetic energy sculptures. These sculptures, conceived by Beinfield Architecture, harness local sources of solar, wind, and water energy.
