Museum of Modern Art in Midtown New York.
Where learning stuff can be a load of fun.
1 Rose Center for Earth and Space
This planetarium is inside the American Museum of Natural History, so you're getting a two-for-one day of entertainment for the whole family. The Rose Center's most famous feature is the Hayden Planetarium,
a huge globe that looks as if it's floating inside a giant cube. After full renovations in 2000, the planetarium now features a 20m domed screen that plays regular screenings of Journey to the Stars, an immersive film narrated by Whoopi Goldberg. The rest of the Rose Center is home to permanent and special exhibitions detailing the 13-billion-year history of the universe. That's a lot to cover, so make sure your little astronauts are well-rested before visiting.
2 Brooklyn Children's Museum
Established in 1899, this was the world's first museum created specifically for children. With a space of more than 9000sq m, the focus is on hands-on and interactive exhibits and is best suited to kids aged from 2 to 10. The Sensory Room is an inclusive space and was created by professionals experienced in Autism Spectrum Disorders, making it a safe environment for all children.
