The Corcoran GroupApril 21, 2011A great place to take the kids. Free admission on the second and fourth full weekend of the month from 2-5pm. Eat beforehand and bring your kid a change of clothes.Upvoted Mar 15
peter kafkaJanuary 7, 2013Free 2-5 2nd & 4th Sat of each month is a great deal but everyone knows about it. So a place that's pretty crowded on normal weekend gets very jammed then. Still can be worth it but be prepared.Upvoted 1 week ago
JasmynFebruary 7, 2014Free admission for Active Duty Military up to 6ppl with Active Duty ID. ID must be of a member or dependent. Best kids museum in Brooklyn! I love it better than LI Museum!
Carolina RevillaApril 1, 2017Very different from other children's museums, my 3 year old loved it. Two floors with many things to do and you can check in your coat , even your stroller
Pinchas MargolisAugust 11, 2017Great place to take the kids. Bring change of clothes for children under 5. There is a park right behind the museum with a playground and basketball courts. It's hard to find parking.
Nelson BishopNovember 8, 2021Make sure you get there at 10AM also bring lunch or snacks for the kids. Their cafe is closed due to the pandemic. Fun for little kids.
Live nearby? Become a member. Best investment you'll make. We love to hang out here when the weather is rainy, hot, or cold.
Sofia VelazquezApril 10, 2015The place has great pizza parlor and grocery shops.But if u had less children around it would definitely be much better a lot of the fake foods were missing.this lady has to where more appropriate stu
Tim ChenJune 30, 2019Not a huge place but plenty of fun for younger kids. Wish they kept everything running year round like the stream in the entry path to the downstairs section- Fodor's TravelSeptember 9, 2015Feel free to bring strollers and heavy coats: the museum may be a long walk from the subway, but the coat check takes everything free of charge.

Education NationSeptember 23, 2011For an interactive way to engage your children, check out the museums schedule of events. There's always something new & fun to learn. Pack lunch and extra clothes; sometimes education can get messy!
Una StadeNovember 30, 2016It keeps my kid entertained! I feel like some parts of the museum are not finished or aren't interactive enough (like the entire kid-store area where basically no kids want to play).
J CrowleyNovember 9, 2013Don't miss the pretend grocery store and pizzeria. But try not to drop your pizza on the floor while putting it in the oven. Doh!- Matt HantzDecember 30, 2012Born in 1899, they claim to be the first museum designed for kids. Don't leave without seeing Fantasia, the 25-foot, 400-pound Burmese python. (And they allow strollers, unlike most kids' museums.)
Chris ZAugust 30, 2014Great for kids. Nice blend of interactive and traditional exhibits. Don't miss all the animals in the basement!
Afi Yellow-DukeJune 23, 2015I grew up going here. It's a super cool place. If they still do their Friday performance series on the roof, go!
Derk DoijerFebruary 27, 2015Great place on a rainy or cold day. If you have a family the membership is a great deal
Christina YinJuly 6, 2013Perhaps it was because it was a free weekend day, the museum was packed full of kids. Personally, I prefer LICM over brooklyn. The exhibits here are a mess, the staff here aren't too attentive.

Joseph KennedyAugust 30, 2011selection of 6 different condiments for your chicken fingers! plenty of healthy options too (salad, yogurt, hummus, cereal) if you're a party pooper :P- Joseph TamMarch 19, 2013Be sure to check out the Giant Burmese Python tucked away downstairs, especially when it's feeding.
- Always fun for the kids. Bring change of clothes for water play or sand play.
Luis LopezDecember 10, 2014Great interactive hands-on children's museum. Good for field trips and families
Fanny LawrenOctober 26, 2011Admission to the Museum is free on EVERY THIRD THURSDAY from 4:00–7:00pm and on the FIRST FULL WEEKEND of every month 2:00–5:00pm, except on holiday weekends.
Mina JohnsonApril 25, 2013Bring extra clothes for toddlers - the water play area will get them soaked even with the smock on
An amazing space for kids, as you can imagine. Do check out the enormous snake at the lower level of the museum.
Scott StilsonMay 27, 2017Take advantage of the ASTC Travel Passport program to gain free admission for two adults and up to four children.
TYreeJanuary 12, 2011absolutely great, the huge python is always popular and I love the hissing cockroaches!
- Joseph KennedyMarch 11, 2011Half of the interactive exhibits aren't functioning properly and the cafeteria could use some healthier options. Otherwise, worth a visit
Mika FlyyMommyJanuary 13, 2013Food down to the vending machine snacks are over priced. Bring your lunch. They have a microwave
According to maintenance worker, "rooftop plaza" opens in Sept 2015. But employee says Spring 2015
Caroline AlexandreMarch 30, 2017Beautiful Musuem. Skip it on days schools are there, can be very loud and roudy. Ugh! Teachers do not control their students at all! Most of them are too busy on social media or texting. Smh
Mike BloombergDecember 31, 2011On 12/29/11, I joined the Brooklyn Children's Museum for their Kwanzaa celebration!

"They have a great and nostalgic vibe in the bar. Try one of the local beers! Artists and staff are really nice and funny. If you are in Coney Island you must see a Freak Show <3"

"This place is neat! If you're up for the trek to Red Hook, Thurs. evenings and Sat. afternoons, cruise this little floating museum for free. It's been docked on Pier 44 since the mid-'90s."
