‘Museums/Science Centers/Tours’ Articles

The family and I woke up early this morning to take part in a tour at the Discovery Times Square Exposition (DTSX) located on 44th St., between 7th and 8th avenues.  This location is the former home to The New York Times and still holds on to many signs of it having been there. I found [Continue]

It’s a beautiful, yet very cold day here in New York City.  On days like these many parents are going a little crazy trying to figure out what to do with their kids. I personally have a few “inside” favorites, like the The Brooklyn’s Children Museum, the American Museum of Natural History, Liberty Science Center, [Continue]

The boys and I waited for the bus to the Staten Island Children’s Museum.  The last time I tried to do this was ages ago.  With 11 year old, (then only 5) my husband and I, stood on a similar platform, not sure what bus to ride that would take us to what we had [Continue]
