Planning a trip to New York City can be an exciting, overwhelming activity. Theres just so much to see and do. Restaurants, shopping, and entertainment vie for your attention as you pour through tourist brochures. Whatever you do, dont forget about the kids. New York City is a place that provides wholesome, educational entertainment for the children in your life.
Also include a visit to the Brooklyn Childrens Museum.

This Museum is located at 145 Brooklyn Avenue in Brooklyn, NY. Admission prices are reasonable, the activities are fun and educational, and they are conveniently located within the center of Brooklyns cultural district. Nestled by Brower Park and a stones throw away from Grand Army Plaza, this world-class childrens museum features a variety of exhibits and activities for the entire family. Since it is a museum designed for kids, it offers hands-on activities and exhibits?something that you wont find at most museums for grown-ups. Children are encouraged to touch and explore as they stroll through the areas of the museum. Along the way, they learn about science, art, culture, and the world around them.

A permanent collection of 30,000 exhibits is on display at the Brooklyn Childrens Museum. Children can examine fossils, masks, insects, household items, and other objects of interest. Interactive exhibits encourage them to solve puzzles, play games, or identify different types of rocks and minerals. Kids can even sketch a picture, string beads, become the pilot of a boat, or use colorful tiles to design patterns. Other exhibits include role-playing activities that allow children to transform into curators, recreating an Asian elephant from a skeleton or designing their own displays. Fearless explorers can even pretend to travel down the Amazon River.

Children five years old and below have their own special place at The Brooklyn Childrens Museum. Dubbed Totally Tots, this special museum space is geared toward the smaller set so they can explore shapes, crawl around padded areas, build, dig in the sand, play dress up, explore music, and participate in other educational activities that strengthen the mind, body, and imagination.

The museum continuously devises new interactive programs and exhibits for its young visitors, so there is always plenty to see and do. Whether coming face to face with a horseshoe crab or designing a brand new toy, kids will learn to investigate, explore, and research as they move about the museum. Better yet, they wont even know they are learning as they participate in the interactive activities, programs, and exhibits.

After exploring the museum, take your kids to the museum caf? where they can munch on traditional kid-pleasing food while you eat gourmet sandwiches or a salad. If you want to take them off the museum grounds to eat, there are several restaurants within walking distance as well.
