Bronx Children's Museum

“We come 1-2x per year and I’m constantly impressed with how tremendous the space and staff are. The time block reservations ensure that the spaces aren’t overrun (like other museums) and the staff monitor spaces to make every child feel like they are the first to discover it (eg: when you go to the farm stand, the food is actually at the farm stand!) it’s also credit to the parent community who are so engaged. This isn’t a “parents sit here, and kids play here” kind of place. That’s why we love it. In addition to the play spaces there are arts studios (sometimes 1, today 2!) that are always imaginative, smart projects. Lastly, they have structured programming throughout the session: story time, animal adventure, and closing parade. The smaller space compared to other NYC & Philly children’s museums is a huge asset. It’s intentionally designed and my kids have a far more enriched experience. We still go to those too, but this truly is a very special place. I can’t recommend this enough.”

“A lovely, calm, and interesting museum that my kids and I both loved visiting. They loved the water play area and the Boogie Story Time! My toddler enjoyed the area for young kids and I really appreciated Melody being so welcoming and patient while showing her some ideas of how to play. We took the subway to yankee stadium and were a little confused but, yes, you need to follow the sidewalk over the bridge and highway overpasses and ramps and down to the museum. It gave us adults pause at first but it was perfectly safe walking on the sidewalk and for the kids it was all part of the exciting adventure :)”

“Visited the museum a few weeks ago and enjoyed the atmosphere and exhibits. Me and my son came on a weekend that Fordham University students had tables and activities for the kids. That was great exposure and fun, especially with the twister game! Also, i absolutely loved the gratitude chant/song before closing time 😆 Keep up the good work with engaging themes! Most definitely will be returning”
