The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum on Main Street in Ridgefield is one of Connecticut's most respected contemporary art venues, featuring bold and thought-provoking exhibitions that spark real conversations between grandparents and grandkids. The sculpture garden is a beautiful outdoor space where kids can move freely while exploring public art. It's a short drive from most Fairfield County towns and well worth an afternoon.
