If you are bringing your children to New York City and are unsure how to entertain them, look no further than this Brooklyn gem. The Brooklyn Children's Museum offers loads of fun for your tots, and is educational as well. Opened in 1899, it has been thriving ever since. Visitors enter the museum through an aquatic tunnel and immediately find themselves bombarded with exciting things to do: buttons to press, stories to read, animals to pet and more tunnels to explore! When hunger pangs strike, rush to the on-site cafe and grab a bite. You can also rent the museum space for private events and parties. Check website for more details on current and upcoming events.
