NYSCI’S Super Space Ace Party has you prepare for liftoff by putting on your own Flight Suit, then seeing real NASA Rockets and learning how they work. Test your knowledge by launching your own stomp rocket, and see if you can launch it higher than your friends’. Finally, splash down in the Birthday Party Room to enjoy some out-of-this world lunch, cake, and goodie bags. nysci.org
New York Transit Museum: The New York Transit Museum is the largest museum in the United States devoted to urban public transportation history. The Museum explores the development of the greater New York metropolitan region through the presentation of exhibitions, tours, educational programs, and workshops that teach about the cultural, social, and technological history of public transportation. Since its inception nearly 40 years ago, the Museum, housed in a historic 1936 IND subway station in Downtown Brooklyn, has grown in scope and popularity. Celebrate your child’s next birthday party at the New York Transit Museum. Led by the Museum’s skilled staff, their parties for children ages 3 and up bring to life over 100 years of transit lore. So join the museum in the bus driver’s seat, stroll along a platform of vintage cars and swipe through the birthday turnstile for a party your child will never forget!
Birthdays at the Transit Museum give children the chance to get in the bus driver’s seat for a great party. Each group receives a guided tour, special games and activities like Design a Vehicle and Scavenger Hunt, and a family membership so you can come back again and again! web.mta.info/museum
