It is seriously awesome (and down the block from where we live! Come say hi :grin: ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-museums#post-1860231 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 11:37:25 +0000 shopaholic 1860231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooh! Thanks for the suggestions! Brooklyn Zoo it is! I actually just thought the Central Park Zoo was famous or something (from Madagascar? lol. Trusty reference source, of course!)</p> <p>Both Museum of Natural History and Children's Museum of Manhattan sound like winners! We'll have to see how we do on time and which one we can go to. I thought the Natural History might be a little better suited for older kids, but @aegie: K loooves the stairs and anything water too! Thanks!!!</p> <p>@Trailmix: Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, I meant more suitable for kids. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-museums#post-1860218 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 11:31:02 +0000 emileee 1860218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for the museum of natural history. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-museums#post-1859774 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 08:29:51 +0000 aegie 1859774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: I also recommend the Museum of Natural History. They have a small water area on the 2nd floor and they have a kid's activity room too. Plus lots of stairs for kids to go up and down. For some reason, my LO likes to walk up and down stairs! Haha! Plus there is a shake shack across the street and lots of neighborhood parks a block away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-museums#post-1859133 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 20:35:23 +0000 anandam 1859133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Transit museum is my hands-down favorite. There are interactive things for kids and all the old subway cars from across the last century. If your LO likes trains it would be great. It's in Brooklyn, at Hoyt-Schermerhorn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-museums#post-1858727 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 18:17:18 +0000 Pirouette 1858727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Def the Bronx zoo over Central park if you can. And I'd totally do the museum of natural history!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-museums#post-1858707 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 18:07:52 +0000 Trailmix 1858707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You mean, like a museum for an adult? Or that is for kids? The Children's Museum of Manhattan is amazing! We have a membership and go a lot. Highly recommend. Otherwise, Museum of Natural History might be a good one, lots of cool things for toddlers and babies to look at... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-museums#post-1858705 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 18:07:25 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1858705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Museum of Natural history, children's museum of manhattan or the brooklyn children's museum.</p> <p>And do the Bronx zoo if you can! Wayyy better than central park zoo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-museums#post-1858703 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 18:07:17 +0000 mrbee 1858703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: These might be fun options for kids!</p> <p>* Children's Museum of Manhattan: <a href="http://cmom.org" rel="nofollow">http://cmom.org</a><br /> * Children's Museum of the Arts: <a href="http://cmany.org/" rel="nofollow">http://cmany.org/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-museums#post-1858702 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 18:07:16 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 1858702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to NYC last spring with our 18 month old visiting his 5 month old cousin. Everyone loved the Brooklyn Children's Museum (loved it!!) and the Museum of Natural History. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-museums#post-1858677 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 17:46:01 +0000 shopaholic 1858677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Going to spend 2 days in NYC with just LO (18months), sister, and niece (8 months). Planning to do Central Park and hopefully the Zoo one day. Would like to take them to a museum the 2nd day. We usually go to The Met, but wanted to see if there were any other suggestions more suitable for a loud, active tot and a baby that wants to walk, but not quite there yet. lol. </p>
