About kids’ events in Stamford

Stamford is Connecticut's second-largest city, forty minutes from Grand Central and home to more corporate headquarters than anywhere else in the state. Families have the Stamford Museum & Nature Center with its working farm and planetarium, Cove Island Park on the Sound, and the Mill River Park carousel downtown. The Ferguson Library on Bedford Street has served the city since 1880.

Halloween 2026 events for kids in Stamford: trunk-or-treats, storytimes and pumpkin patches, day by day.

42 children’s events are on in Stamford in the next seven days, read every night from the calendars of Ferguson Library (5 branches, 49 upcoming programmes), plus Stamford Museum & Nature Center and Whittingham Discovery Center. Library programmes are free. Museum and zoo events say “admission may apply”; check the venue for prices.

The Stamford passport

9 places to collect. Tap “I'm here” when you're at one and the stamp goes in your book; collect 5 and print the certificate.

  • Bruce Museum
  • Edith & Robert Graham Otter Pond
  • Ferguson Library
  • Mill River Park
  • Stamford History Center
  • Stamford Museum & Nature Center
  • Stamford Palace Theatre
  • Weed Memorial & Hollander Branch
  • Whittingham Discovery Center

Stamps live on your phone. Open your passport to see them all, print the certificate, or save them to your email.

Is it free to use, and do I need an account?

Yes and no. Every event, time, address and link is open to anyone. An account only lets you save outings you plan to go to.

How current is this list?

Each library and venue calendar is re-read every night, so a cancelled storytime disappears within a day. Times are shown in Stamford’s own time zone.

Which ages?

Babies and toddlers, preschoolers, early grades, tweens and teens. Pick an age range above to narrow the list; leave them all off to see everything.

More in Connecticut: Hartford, New Haven.

Keep Stamford without checking back

Or add Stamford’s kids’ events to your calendar: subscribe once and new weeks appear on their own. (Google Calendar: paste that link’s address into “Other calendars → From URL”.) We keep your email and the city, nothing else; every note has a one-click stop.
