Visiting Staten Island Children's Museum

We visited Staten Island Children's Museum at 1000 Richmond Terrace, Staten Island, NY 10301

Visiting Children's Museum of Manhattan

We visited the Children's Museum of Manhattan during Mother's day and it is worth the traffic. The first floor is like a museum about the body.

The second floor and the third floor are like play center. There is a Dora and Diego exhibit on the 2nd floor with living room, sleeping area, the rainbow bridge, etc.

On the 3rd floor there is an interactive dragon that kids can feed with letters. There are also different transportation vehicles like the MTA bus, yellow can and even a fire truck that children can go in and out of.

There is a 15% discount on Central Parking garage located at West 83rd Street between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues. We validated our parking ticket in the reception desk before we stepped out and we only paid $20 for a little more than three hours.

Visiting Children's Museum in NY

As a parent we are suppose to continually expose our children to new experiences to enrich their vocabulary, and build connections between their brain synapses which is very important in raising intelligent children.

The NY Hall of Science in 47-01 111th Street, Queens, NY is a great children's museum in New York.  It has a lot to offer to young inquisitive minds.

Visiting the Long Island Children' s Museum in Garden City is worth the trip!

There is a colorful mural of a collage of children's drawn faces on the wall outside the museum .

There are a lot of hands on interactive galleries but my toddler's favorite is the Tot Spot. We can hardly take her away from the toy crane truck. She likes getting in and out of it, sitting on the seat  and pretending she is on a ride. It's very popular though so we have to pry her away from it any time someone wants to try it. She also tried riding the motorcycle in the gas station in the corner. It is really cute that you can pretend pumping gas into the motorcycle! There is also an enclosed area that make children feel that they are inside a bus there are even a costume of bus driver's uniform for those who wants to try it.

There is also bubble fun in another gallery (although it can be slippery so use extreme caution when everything is covered with soap and bubbles).

We enjoyed seeing ourselves on TV in the Communication  Station.

Recording our voice and hearing the output in the radio room is certainly fun!

 Spinning the big wheel requires a little effort for our little darling but she get the hang of it.

There is a wall of numbers in English, Spanish and sign language.
