The museum's employees have decked its halls, made, made their lists and checked them twice. Their elves have worked their holiday magic, and is now in the midst of a “fun-tastic” experience, Holiday Happenings. 

During Stepping Stones' “7 Weeks of Wonder," the museum has a sleighful of exciting events and activities in its winter wonderland. Holiday Happenings is a great way to usher in the holiday season and provide many fun moments while creating lasting memories for you and your family.

Enjoy the "Best Sock Skating in Connecticut" in our outdoor rink, get cozy inside a new Winter Chalet with ‘icy" building blocks to build a play-sized igloo, make your way through our Celebrations Maze, take part in an impromptu dance party with our dancing elves, build a snowman or dress one up in the Courtyard, set ‘em up and knock ‘em down on our new Penguin Bowling Alley and visit with Santa, Frosty and other friends from the North Pole. 

Magical photo opportunities abound in front of the 15-foot Holiday Tree, inside a winter snow globe, or lighted courtyard. There is a kid-sized Winter Chalet and festive sign posts, myriad of snowmen, spectacular winter murals and seasonally-decorated galleries among other locations.

Other Holiday Happenings activities include:
