HARTFORD, Conn. — The Connecticut Summer at the Museum program is back again for the 2023 season.
The program gives free admission to Connecticut kids to more than 120 museums around the state during their summer vacation.
From Saturday, July 1, to Monday, Sept. 4, children ages 18 and under - with one accompanying adult - can get free admission to any of the participating museums. Find a full list of participating museums here.
The Connecticut Summer at the Museum program started in 2021 to give kids "engaging enrichment and learning experiences" during the COVID-19 pandemic, the governor's office said. The program is now funded through American Rescue Plan funding.
“We are thrilled that we can bring back this popular summertime program for 2023 because it provides so many opportunities for Connecticut kids and their families,” Gov. Ned Lamont said in a statement. “The world-class museums and cultural institutions across Connecticut offer unmatched educational and recreational experiences that will keep kids engaged all season long and spark curiosity for years to come.”
Visitors posting about their trip to a Connecticut museum and taking advantage of CT Summer at the Museum are encouraged to post on social media using the hashtag #CTSummerMuseums.
