As a Mom of three little ones under the age of four, I’m always on the lookout for new ways to create fun and memorable experiences with my kids.

Exploring Connecticut together has become one of our favorite activities. Giving us something special to look forward to each week. However, I often found myself wishing for a simple way to discover and navigate kid-friendly businesses nearby. There are so many wonderful places for families to enjoy, but finding the very best spots felt overwhelming at times. 

That’s when the idea for the CT Kids Passport came to life. I wanted to create something that not only made it easier for families to explore our beautiful state but also made each outing feel like an adventure. I imagined a program where parents and children could discover amazing local spots, collect stamps, and make lasting memories along the way. 

The CT Kids Passport is more than just a booklet: it’s an invitation for families to come together, plan meaningful outings, and experience all the Connecticut has to offer. We’re excited to parent with local businesses that share our mission, offering fun giveaways and rewards to make this journey even more special.

So here we are, embarking on our very first year! I hope you’ll join us, creating memories, sharing laughter, and building connections that will last a lifetime. This is a story we hope you’ll make your own, year after year, as we explore Connecticut together with our kids.
