Just go to the new haven parking website. It's right there

Mew Haven Cat Cafe on Whalley Ave. You can get there from downtown on bus.

Well I'm sorry you had that experience, but idk wtf you are talking about, I'd be happy to raise my kids here if I had any. Have you spent much time in any other cities? And I see kind people all over the place, maybe they were just assholes to you.

Thank you so much !

They are 5 and 7. The ropes course sounds awesome! 8 remembering the Norwalk Aquarium and loving it. I didn't realize it was on the train route, which makes it easily doable! Kiddos will love that, thank you!

Thanks guys. That’s my poster. Hope this is jelly!

Why do you say there's no direct train to Boston? Because you need an Amtrak reservation that could be $22 or well over $100?

Can you please DM me? Jelly Sandwich is my missing cat. She doesn’t wear a gray collar unfortunately but she is the size of a kitten. Please DM me and I can give you my number to get a photo.

Not enough yet!!

Also pitch that they dont have to understand all the meaning and context. Kids often like to fingerpaint and such. I tgink you can contextualize the art in their frame.

Ah! I just took a photo of this to post. Hopefully they find jelly sandwich

How old are the kids? There is an adventure ropes course at the Jordan’s Furniture store, Yale University Art Gallery, Criterion Movie Theatre downtown, take the train to the Norwalk aquarium (Sono train is right at the aquarium)…

That is true! I need to try and sell my wife on the idea that it's free. It would be nice to say the kids have stood next to a Miro or Picasso, even if it may not resonate with them, yet.

The nice thing is its free to go in so you can spend 30 minutes there before they get bored

Thank you for the update! Yes!!! Peabody is AMAZING. I can't wait to show the kiddos. I used to stare at those exhibits for hours.

Yeah, we are so lucky with what we have in New Haven. My wife thinks it would be too much for them at their current ages, and we will probably save the art galleries for a trip in a few years when they are more appreciative. (I'm from New Haven and will definitely be bringing them back over time).

>l about dinosaurs so we are doing the museum of natural hist

definitely not open. Not until mid '24, is what my understanding is. Can't come soon enough if you ask me!

Definitely worth it! Thank you 😊

I would LOVE to get the family on board for a hike in East Rock. Just gotta see if they're up for it with the cold!

Art museums

Those all sound awesome! I forgot about that ropes course! My buddies were telling me about it. That happened after I moved, but looks awesome for the kids (and myself haha!)

Don’t know…but it’s worth putting in a call.

You can hike to East Rock depending on how cold it is, there’s a ropes adventure course at Jordan’s Furniture, walk around Yale’s campus, the green usually hosts local vendors in igloos, the library might be holding some kid related events, pizza is always a kid friendly option, and maybe ice cream at arethusa/insomnia cookie/Ashley’s?

Is that the Peabody? Are they open again? I've always wanted to bring my kids there one day when I had them, and then covid happened and the renovations. My son is all about dinosaurs so we are doing the museum of natural history in The City, but man, I'd love to show them the Peabody if they're back open!

Science museum has a pretty cool dinosaur room and bug room. Could definitely do a few hours there and it’s pretty easy to park.
