I've taken my daughters to this museum several times and they never get bored. There are plenty of activities for children to enjoy as they learn about things like nature to various cultural dances. The children also enjoy the room where you can draw and write on anything. This is definitely a place you would want to bring your children. Children and adults will have a good time.

Beautiful place for the kids to visit at least once a year, to enjoy and experience the nature in captivity. The snake, reptiles and fish exhibit are wonderfully shaped and designed to give it natural looks . Unfortunately, the yellow python is not there anymore, but they have 2 new large shakes that are dangerously following each other theough the glass and kids are mesmerized by it. They also offer complimentary tickets for friends and family and membership cards thorough out the year. I would certainly recommend it to my friends and family members to experience this wonderful place at least once a year. 5 stars. *****.

Great for a snow day! We stayed about 3 hours, our little ones are 2 and seemed to really enjoy it. It deff needs some updating but it was still fun. May not be fun for kids over 6/7 but for little ones it’s perfect.

This is a kids museum, it keeps them busy. If your kids likes to touch everything this is the place to be . They have so many different places for the kids to interact. Overall great experience for a 3-4 year old

All the exhibits that were there when I took my now oldest child are gone. When my kids wanted to engage in the interactive exhibits like the pizzeria and supermarket things were missing and the museum is definitely not the same as it used to be, seems like a whirlwind ran through it and damaged a once fun place.

I love this place, and my kid does too! I appreciate that each exhibit is educational and interactive. The rotating open-space upstairs exhibit is always fun regardless of the theme.

Lots of renovation should be done regularly in order to improve the general quality of the museum for kids (and adults too). If we compare with the Canadian Children’s Museum of Gatineau, it’s pretty sure that the cooperation between both institutions would provide great fruits. The pride for NYC being a multicultural metropolis should be even more exacerbated in the Brooklyn Children’s Museum by the same occasion.

Great place for kids, particularly the first floor area for the wee ones. There is a reading area, water play station, theatre area, music area etc. The "cultural areas" could use a little more attention in terms of making sure stations are stocked with drawing paper and colored pencils and other supplies relevant to the available activities. My niece loves it there.

I'd give it five stars if it wasn't such a germ magnet for the little ones. That said this place is an amazing few hours of fun with your child (or grandchild). So much to see and do across several levels. It's an immersive learning experience for toddlers to elementary kids.

I highly recommend a visit.

Fun museum for ages 1-6. Surprised by the amount of animals in here. They have a lot of sections that will keep kids entertained for hours (sand pit, foam chip pit, 3 different water tanks, fake grocery store etc). Free coat / stroller check.
