Join us for a pirate-themed evening featuring creative cocktails, an auction filled with treasures, live music, our signature Wine Wall, a feast fit for a captain and a special performance from the BFF (Brooms Friends & Fun) pirate dancers!
All proceeds to benefit the Niantic Children’s Museum, where discoveries are made and fun just happens!
A Place for Families to be Together
Through your generosity, the Museum is able to provide a place for thousands of children and their families to come to every year to play, learn and spend time laughing and just being together. What a gift in these hectic overscheduled days – with your help, the Museum is proud to be able to provide a place for this to happen.
Donors like you helped us raise over $100,000 last year.
More Than Just Four Walls
Located directly on Main Street in Niantic, the Children’s Museum provides a vibrant venue for residents as well as visitors. We enjoy strong community and regional partnerships that allow us to enhance visitor experiences. However, the museum is much more than just four walls.
We deliver programs to teachers and students in schools throughout southeastern Connecticut. We provide grant programing in priority school districts presenting an educational opportunity for students of these schools that, without the museum, would not exist. Your continuing generous support makes all of this possible.
