A great place to take the kids. Free admission on the second and fourth full weekend of the month from 2-5pm. Eat beforehand and bring your kid a change of clothes .

peter kafka

Free 2-5 2nd & 4th Sat of each month is a great deal but everyone knows about it. So a place that's pretty crowded on normal weekend gets very jammed then. Still can be worth it but be prepared.

Jasmyn

Free admission for Active Duty Military up to 6ppl with Active Duty ID. ID must be of a member or dependent. Best kids museum in Brooklyn! I love it better than LI Museum !

Carolina Revilla

Very different from other children's museums , my 3 year old loved it. Two floors with many things to do and you can check in your coat , even your stroller

J Crowley

Don't miss the pretend grocery store and pizzeria . But try not to drop your pizza on the floor while putting it in the oven. Doh!

Pinchas Margolis

Great place to take the kids. Bring change of clothes for children under 5. There is a park right behind the museum with a playground and basketball courts . It's hard to find parking .

Nelson Bishop

Make sure you get there at 10AM also bring lunch or snacks for the kids. Their cafe is closed due to the pandemic. Fun for little kids.

Benjamin Healy

Live nearby? Become a member. Best investment you'll make. We love to hang out here when the weather is rainy, hot, or cold.

Matt Hantz

Born in 1899, they claim to be the first museum designed for kids. Don't leave without seeing Fantasia, the 25-foot, 400-pound Burmese python . (And they allow strollers, unlike most kids' museums .)

Sofia Velazquez

The place has great pizza parlor and grocery shops.But if u had less children around it would definitely be much better a lot of the fake foods were missing.this lady has to where more appropriate stu

Tim Chen

Not a huge place but plenty of fun for younger kids. Wish they kept everything running year round like the stream in the entry path to the downstairs section

Education Nation

For an interactive way to engage your children, check out the museums schedule of events . There's always something new & fun to learn. Pack lunch and extra clothes ; sometimes education can get messy!

Fodor's Travel

Feel free to bring strollers and heavy coats: the museum may be a long walk from the subway, but the coat check takes everything free of charge. Read more

Great for kids. Nice blend of interactive and traditional exhibits . Don't miss all the animals in the basement !

Una Stade

It keeps my kid entertained! I feel like some parts of the museum are not finished or aren't interactive enough (like the entire kid-store area where basically no kids want to play).

Afi Yellow-Duke

I grew up going here. It's a super cool place. If they still do their Friday performance series on the roof, go!

Great place on a rainy or cold day. If you have a family the membership is a great deal

Fanny Lawren

Admission to the Museum is free on EVERY THIRD THURSDAY from 4:00–7:00pm and on the FIRST FULL WEEKEND of every month 2:00–5:00pm, except on holiday weekends.

selection of 6 different condiments for your chicken fingers ! plenty of healthy options too (salad , yogurt , hummus , cereal) if you're a party pooper :P

Luis Lopez

Great interactive hands-on children's museum . Good for field trips and families

Christina Yin

Perhaps it was because it was a free weekend day, the museum was packed full of kids. Personally, I prefer LICM over brooklyn. The exhibits here are a mess, the staff here aren't too attentive.

Freddy Whiteside

If your in the Brooklyn area, and you got kids, take them here!!!!!!

Noah M

An amazing space for kids, as you can imagine. Do check out the enormous snake at the lower level of the museum .

Catrin Morgan

Always fun for the kids. Bring change of clothes for water play or sand play.

Joseph Tam

Be sure to check out the Giant Burmese Python tucked away downstairs, especially when it's feeding.

Moises Mattout

It’s nice expensive place to take the kids

Bring extra clothes for toddlers - the water play area will get them soaked even with the smock on

Great spot for an active toddler on a rainy day

Beautiful Musuem. Skip it on days schools are there, can be very loud and roudy. Ugh! Teachers do not control their students at all! Most of them are too busy on social media or texting. Smh

According to maintenance worker, "rooftop plaza " opens in Sept 2015. But employee says Spring 2015

Joseph Kennedy

Half of the interactive exhibits aren't functioning properly and the cafeteria could use some healthier options . Otherwise, worth a visit

Mika FlyyMommy

Food down to the vending machine snacks are over priced. Bring your lunch . They have a microwave
