We were so impressed with this museum. Our children range in age from 10 to 9 months old. The museum had something for all of them to enjoy. We got there around noon and stayed until they closed and the kids still did not want to leave. On this particular Saturday, in addition to the regular offerings, they had two... More

We have two grandsons ages 4 and 6 who absolutely love this museum. The only thing that outranks it is going to the park. Obviously outdoor activities are out on rainy or snowy days and while they like to go when the weather is good, as well, it's a lifesaver for adults in bad weather. The exhibits and activities are...

Renovated a while back, some new stuff, some old classics. The water area is ONLY for smaller children, but it's great. Ther is ONE free Sunday afternoon each month... but you can easily spend the day here with your kids.

This is a great interactive museum for children. I brought my daughter here when she was 3 and she loved it. It taught here about different cultures, she took pictures inside a Chinese dragon and inside a Caribbean custom and there was so much to do, we spend half the day here and had a wonderful meal to end our...

This museum is perfect for toddlers. One of our favorites ( if not THE favorite) Children's Museum we visited this far. I love the fact that they have Sensory gym ( open at designated hours) - and everything in the museum is created to support different stages of development to the fullest. Its layout and content is designed in such... More

Great Interactive exhibits. A mini version of a Brooklyn neighborhood. Stresses tolerance and diversity.

We have been members of Brooklyn Children's since my son learned to walk. Every year he discovers new favorite things to do when we go. It's by far the best thing to do with little kids on a rainy or snowy day in Brooklyn... it will keep them happy for hours and hours without fail. The cafeteria serves a variety... More
