Stepping Stones Museum for Children is a hands-on children's museum for ages 10 and under located at 303 West Avenue, in the Central section of Norwalk, Connecticut. The museum's interactive exhibit areas include: "Rainforest Adventure", about life in the tropical rainforest and conservation challenges; "In the Works", experiments with motion, gravity and energy; "Waterscape", a play area that explores the forms of water and where it goes; "Healthyville", with exhibits about bodies and healthy living; "Bubbles", a seasonal outdoor bubble creation area; "Toddler Terrain", an exploration area just for toddlers.

The entrance lobby houses ColorCoaster, a 27-foot kinetic sculpture designed by artist George Rhoads.
