By far the best Children's Museum in the city. I spent 8 years there with my child weekly. (we had a membership). Such an incredible, joyful and engaging place and the grounds at Snug Harbor are always wonderful. Recently took my friends with small children there and they were delighted. Wonderful programming and exhibitions. More

The Winter Lantern festival is hosted to celebrate and cherish the Chinese New Year. Amazing Lights gleam all over the place. Good place for kids and some good night photographs. There are some shows which are announced while you are there. The place is pretty far and pricy. The feel is “Not a good value for money” at the end.

I want everyone to go there during your break. The kids loved Ms Sue. She was everything you wanted for a tour guide for kids. I took a lot of pictures. Those place is so cool. Soon I want to bring children with amsensory needs here. They would love some parts of this venue.

  • Konstantine Faleyev

Didn't have any expectation - was very happily surprised. Incredibly friendly staff, tons of great activities for toddlers and young kids. Spent 2 hours here, had to drag the kids out, they didn't want to leave. Nice park right outside where kids can run around and play.

Clean, spacious, and airy on a beautiful campus! Who knew Staten Island harbored such a gem! The kiddos loved the whole museum. Honestly the 2-5PM reservation slot wasn't enough to explore the whole thing at all. We'll have to come back because it was a wonderful time.

  • Kary Peng

It was awesome place for the kids in Staten Island. Not a big place but each floor has different theme. My kids enjoy this place. The other thing I love this place is the gift shop and food’s price is normal. Definitely will bring my kids come again! …

It is a great place for kids. It is small but it is cute. The kids enjoy all the options this place has to offer. This is not by any mean a giant museum, but it is good enough for a lazy saturday where you want to take the kids to a local playplace for a day. More

  • Danielle Knappenberger

We had the best time here! We bought our tickets in advanced with a 3 hour time frame. That’s more than enough time to see everything, have the kids play and interact as well as play outside in the water section. Staff are friendly and always smiling. More

My children, ages 3 to 9 years old, all enjoyed the Children's Museum. Multiple exhibits on each floor contained engaging activities for the children. The front entrance contains a fire truck which was entertaining. The biggest sign that my

My tot and I traveled all the way from New Jersey on public transportation to experience this little hideaway on Snug Harbor. Well worth the commute; we used our Cool Culture card and were checked in and given a ticket for the cooking class

  • Mersades Cruikshank

I love taking my daughter to this place when I visit my family on Staten Island. It has so many things to offer for all age groups. It’s a very reasonable price and you only pay once a day you can leave and come back to play some more. The

I had to do a project for a class at Wagner College and they gave me a private tour — I wasn’t allowed to explore the museum alone because I was unaccompanied by a child. They cared about their patrons safety and experience. There are over

Wonderful museum that was sensory friendly. My daughter really enjoyed herself, and was able to play with other kids. Definitely considering a membership. It is really a gem in Staten island and I cannot believe I didn't know of it sooner.

My daughter was bullied by a large group of children wearing skirts, unattended by their parents, while in the fire truck area. She was yelled at and not allowed to play inside the dashboard wheel area of the fire truck.
