I’m a Brooklyn mom always looking for new ways to entertain my kids, but some spots have turned into favorite hang-outs. One of those places we like to revisit is the Brooklyn Children’s Museum, located on 145 Brooklyn Avenue. This museum was founded in 1899, making it the first museum directed specifically towards kids. It is designed for children and teens (making it appropriate for my entire family), with a lot of different exhibits that continually change. The Brooklyn Children’s Museum takes you on a trip through your own imagination, complete with full-sized stores and subway cars. This weekend I’m definitely taking my kids there, and if you have nothing planned you should consider it too. (If, unlike me, you’re not in NYC, this great list of top U.S. children’s museums has information on museums around the country, including the one in Brooklyn).
