Attractions & Museums

New York is home to some of the best attractions and museums for kids in the world. From the American Museum of National History in Manhattan on where children will love the life-sized model of an enormous blue whale, and to check out the dinosaur exhibit. Then head to the Metropolitan Museum, the Guggenheim, the MOMA, the Whitney and the Children’s Museum for the Arts.

In Brooklyn, make sure to check out the Brooklyn Museum. There’s also the Brooklyn Children’s Museum, the New York Transit Museum and the Jewish Children’s Museum. In Queens don’t miss the Noguchi Museum, the Museum of the Moving Image and the New York Hall of Science. In the Bronx, there’s the Bronx Children’s Museum. We also love the Museum of Bronx History and the Van Cortlandt House Museum.

Aside from all of these amazing museums, there are tonnes of attractions, parks, playgrounds and memorials to check out all around the city. Attractions and museums in New York for kids are so plentiful! And New York Family will give you the ultimate low-down on what not to miss.
