Today is Kidcity's 25th Birthday! We're basking in the memories of all the playtime with little ones, all the artists, all the workers, and all the volunteers who have made this place part of their story for the past 25 years. We've never shown this before, but here's a throwback video from this date in 2018 with the TRUE STORY of how we built Kidcity. Don't forget to say YES!

oh and we'll have birthday surprises for our visitors and old friends who pop by in the next few weeks (until they run out). Be sure to make a reservation to come play!

We just got our 1000th google review! Thank you to everyone who takes the time to write about their Kidcity experiences (even if it's the kind we have to learn from!). We love being back open and seeing families make memories together.

The museum is now open 9 am to 4 pm, 7 days a week, and we still require online reservations at KidcityMuseum.com. The calendar has 30 days of openings so you can plan ahead (winter weekends and holidays fill up quickly!)

Hope you come play soon!

Thank you our friends at Amato's Toy and Hobby Middletown for hosting Kidcity's WHAT THE DUCK duck!

What's WHAT THE DUCK? It's part of the Go PINK Project which raises money to fight cancer here in our community through Middlesex Health.

Come to Downtown Middletown, CT and you'll see 50 decorated ducks at businesses up and down Main Street until October 28th.

Of course, Kidcity couldn't just decorate a duck...we had to make it something you could play with! So we started imagining a televsion show, called ROLLERDUCKS, about a world where everyone is a rubber duck and roller derby is their *everything*. Our painted duck shows characters from the show (or at least who we imagine might be on our imaginary show): the underdog FEATHERBRAINS, the stylish MAD MALLARDS, the rough and ready DUCK DEVILS and the former champs, the down-on-their-pluck FLAPPERS. Now we want to know...WHO WILL WIN THE DERBY?

We figured with such a popular show, there would probably be merchandise tie-ins, so we made some real-life ROLLERDUCKS that you can play with outside of Amato's during their business hours.

While you are downtown, be sure to see all the ducks and vote for your favorite at www.middlesexhealth.org/whattheduck.

For a long time now, we've been building a new exhibit at Kidcity...and we finally opened it at the end of the summer! For us exhibit makers, it's been an adventurous three-year journey to a tiny imaginary village that's kind of like Sicily and kind of like Middletown. Now that the room is open, it's a joy to see families filling the dolphin fountain with a rain of scarves and taking a (pretend) spin on the vespa. Thank you to The Middletown Press for visiting today and writing about "La Piazza".

We also wanted to let you know that Kidcity is still open by online reservation only, at www.KidcityMuseum.com. Until now, we were only making reservations one-day-in-advance, but we've now opened the schedule up a month in advance. Come play!

Kidcity children's museum of Middletown recently opened a new room that evokes a piazza...
