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.

Visited with 3 adults & 1 child (8 years old). We all enjoyed this creative environment. They have interactive stores - grocery, African cultural items & a Pizzeria. Pretty awesome. Kids can spend an extended time in the pizzeria as it is set up as a restaurant & they can serve you. Precious moments for all! Thanks for the memory😄

Terrific for young kids! Everything is DO touch. Water play, sand boxes, things that make noise, pretend play "shops;" pizzaria, grocery, travel agency! Little overpriced snack counter but you're free to bring your own lunch and picnic on the 2nd floor large outdoor space. Would highly recommend! Older kids might not find much to do or might get bored. Maybe 12 might be the high side of age appropriate? Fun place regardless. Great friendly staff!!!

I actually liked it better when I was a kid. Now I'm gonna show my age. The entrance gavea feel like how did they fit a museum into this tiny place. The entrance was probably the size of my or my living room. It was so cool. It had a funny smell the it still kinda has and the best part... It was free.

AC is not working properly. It’s very hot inside, especially in the common theatre, kids can’t breathe well. Although the museum is working until 7 pm on Sundays, many places are closed by 4-4:30 pm. Waste of time and money to come here after 4 pm. Also, the elevator on the second floor is not working, it’s only going up, so there’s no way you can take elevator down from the second floor, only up from the first floor. Beware when you visit this place with the stroller. Very Disappointed.

Went here back during Winter 2018 with my 3 year old. The best display in our opinion is the MTA bus that kids get to take a turn pretending to drive. Everything about the place was lovely from the pizza shop to the supermarket. Even the water room was a lot of fun. We will return again soon.

This was my first visit to the Brooklyn Children's Museum in years. I took my Grandson there. I used to take my children. I have to say I was not disappointed, the place is clean, beautiful and incredibly interactive for the little ones. You have to see it for yourself my review doesn't do it justice. I highly recommend becoming a member. It's more than worth it.

Great place for a family day out. Love the toddler section... They get so engrossed with the water and sand table areas. And let's not forget the slide! It's cute that they have a area for infants to have tummy time. The exhibits are great too. Everyone loves getting involved with the activities upstairs.

On Saturdays they close the area for babies and toddlers at 4.30pm, even when the museum closes at 7pm. The don't inform about this at the entrance, so we paid full price for only 30min. Should offer discounts for small kids or half day. Facilities are good, clean and fun.
