Children's Museum of Manhattan

Here’s a great place to take the kids when they’re tired of being told not to touch. This museum is strictly hands-on, with interactive exhibits and activity centers that encourage self-discovery. “Adventures with Dora and Diego” takes children through different animal habitats as they help Diego on an animal rescue mission. “Discover Ancient Greece” introduces them to art, science, and literature. This isn’t just a museum for the 5-and-up set—there are exhibits designed for babies and toddlers, too. The schedule also includes craft classes and storytellers, and a full slate of entertainment on weekends.
