"We had an amazing time, sooo much to do there for my 16MO, he loooooved the garden and the water area"
"Just Plain Awesomeness! We love going to the manhattan children's museum, but traveling with 3 kids is not easy"
"We visited this museum with our students who have special needs, and require certain accommodations due to sensory and unique learning needs"
"This children's museum had a well-organized layout, with clean stations and restrooms"
"We traveled easily to the museum and followed the street signs to the entrance"
We had an amazing time, sooo much to do there for my 16MO, he loooooved the garden and the water area...they have smucks for them to stay dry but those are cloth so he was soaked anyway... if they had something waterproof it would be much better but he loved it. So I suggest you bring a change of clothes for younger child that doesn't play carefully with the water . I also wish there was a cafeteria or place to eat with a table. Only place to eat is one bench for all these kids... no table to put ur food down. Museum doesn't have a parking we parked in near by mall in the garage. We really had a great time and will be back.

Just Plain Awesomeness! We love going to the manhattan children's museum, but traveling with 3 kids is not easy. Having this location so close is wonderful. The place is beautiful, there is a snake, a fish tank and a live turtle. All the exhibits have tons of things to do. My favorite is the water way exhibit which I heard it will be year round. The staff was super friendly and helpfull. I'm just hoping they stay constant as time goes by. My kids even got goodie bags for the opening day. I so thankful to everyone involved, now I have a place to take my kids on bad weather days and I don't have to travel far.

We visited this museum with our students who have special needs, and require certain accommodations due to sensory and unique learning needs. The staff was so warm and patient in how they interacted with our students and in how they included them in the varied fun, interactive centers/exhibits. Our students had fun and were kept busy and engaged with Adriana, our museum teacher for our arts & craft activity and live animal adventures, as well as Adam, who looked after us throughout our time there. They had sensory toys (and a cool sensory bag) on hand for those students who had trouble waiting--impressive! Our teachers were so grateful to them for giving our students such rewarding experiences.
This children's museum had a well-organized layout, with clean stations and restrooms. However, I'm rating it 1 stars due to the overly attentive staff, which made me feel like they were constantly monitoring my every move. This level of oversight felt invasive and made the overall experience quite unpleasant. I felt like I couldn't breathe in peace. It was a constant parental policing that left me feeling uncomfortable. What's more, I was concerned to see staff taking pictures of the kids without parental consent. The staff's approach did not promote independence at all; in fact, it seemed like they wanted parents to be constantly hovering over their children.
We traveled easily to the museum and followed the street signs to the entrance. We were greeted warmly and went up to the second floor using the elevator. Lots of kid-friendly areas and timed events throughout the space full of color and themes. My 2 grandchildren (aged 7 and 8) were completely entertained. This is appropriate for supervised infants through aged 9. Most areas are wheelchair accessible but not all exhibits are hands on accessible for those who need acommodations.

We had an absolute blast! So proud of the BX! The facility was extremely clean, the employees were all friendly upon entering. The greeter/security on the first level gave great suggestions when she saw how young my son was and we took her advice and had a great time in the wonder space play area. Nom was super incredible with all the little ones and we all enjoyed story time. I absolutely recommend taking your little ones here. It’s a nice treat and easy to locate.

I have been waiting for the opening on the Bronx museum and it’s finally here.!!!!! I went last week with my family and We love it there. the water exhibit was my girls favorites. The facility is clean the staff is tremendously kind. My favorite was the art room. Some exhibits are still not open yet and currently it’s by reservation so be sure you do that before heading there. overall it was an amazing experience I will definitely take my girls again.

Very nice children’s museum, vibrant colors and interactive. Because of reservations it wasn’t over crowded. It had a very heavy emphasis on Latin/a/x/Hispanic Culture, so I wonder if that is the standing focus or if different cultures are highlighted monthly, yearly, etc. Nevertheless, it was great for us to learn and experience! Bathrooms are accommodating. Loved how they had a low sink for children. Overall, it was great and I recommend going.

Love love love love this place. We only came here 2x during weekdays. It’s only 1 floor but so many things to explore. They have live small animals, the otter stick house is a big hit, the water station is sooooo cool, the story time, they have turtles that staff talk to kids about and let them see and touch it (gentle 2 finger touch) they also have a specific area for toddlers and babies which is so nice. I’m just glad that this museum great for elementary kids.

An absolute gem for children which commemorates the different cultures of The Bronx. We went with our 16 month old and there was no shortage of activities. We mainly stayed in the nest area, a large play space with several gross and fine motor activities and toys. My son loved it. The interior space is gorgeous, airy and clean. We needed a space like this for our children and my heart is full to see the Bronx Children's Museum exists. It exceeded our expectations.

I enjoyed the Bronx Children’s Museum so much. I’m from this borough so it gave me particular joy to see our cultures represented in staffing, in the programming, the art on the walls and the overall atmosphere. It is not only stimulating for children’s curiosity and a place to make friends, but also a place that builds community in our borough. Wonderful experience! Special shout out to the staff (one mother son team and Ms. Keke). They really offered so much care and kindness to the children. I felt so at home.
What a great place to visit with your little ones. It was fun, exciting and very clean. The staff was so friendly and interacted well with my 2 year old, making her excited to jump right in and play. Playing at the water station was probably her favorite thing to do while we were there visiting. I have to say the Bronx Childrens Museum comes at number 1 out of all of the children’s museums in the 5 boroughs that we have visited. We will definitely be coming back again soon!
It is a beautiful museum and the staff is super nice and dedicated. My kids 5 and 3 had an amazing time. We read books, danced, jumped, play pretend house, looked at some animals and play in water. We stay from 10-1 pm . It was amazing. I recommend to bring some extra clothes because both of my kids got wet playing at the water table. Very nice atmosphere.

What a beautiful children's museum! It's so well thought out - from the space layout to the creative activities and the amazing ways they tie in the Bronx to everything - kiddos to the creators. The only thing is I wish the museum was easier to get reservations for! And I wish they were able to host birthday parties

The only Children's Museum where we don't feel like we have to take a shower after. Need to buy tickets in advance. Always have fun arts and crafts activities and the water feature is a family favorite. We have driven from Brooklyn many times. Staff is always great. Go there. You will thank me later.

Absolutely fantastic! My little ones enjoyed it definitely seems for younger than 8 years old crowd. Highly recommend this interactive museum like no other I’ve seen in the east coast. They had donation fee entry once you walk in. The staff was very patient and friendly. Very clean and safe environment.

Great place for the children, especially the little ones. Very educational and hands on.
Beautiful place to take your kids. Adult will enjoy too. Great memories from there
