Kids on spring break got to experience the thrill of climbing aboard firetrucks, police cars, buses, and construction equipment at Stamford's Touch-A-Truck event on Tuesday.

The event allowed young children to learn more about city workers and first responders.

"It's a great family event," said Michael Moore, president of Stamford Downtown. "It will encourage folks to come downtown in the future."

Families also got to explore local businesses around Veterans Memorial Park.

Kids even got to operate drones and experience the sights and sounds of being in the driver's seat.
