About Staten Island Children's Museum
The Staten Island Children's Museum loves giving curious and creative kids a place to learn and discovery through, a number of interactive and hands-on exhibits JUST for them!
Kids can crawl through a human sized ant-hill in the Bugs & Other Arthropods exhibit, try on an exoskeleton AND displays that show that maybe bugs and spiders aren't really scary after all!
A two-story unfinished house gives kids see what's behind the walls of homes, and learn about the people who build them, or they can put on their veterinarian lab coat and give the animals a check up!
All those budding artists and scientists in the family will love the Walk-In Workshop to paint and sculpt, or those imaginations can run wild as they pretend to be firefighters as they ring the bell and and jump aboard and authentic 1941 Seagrave fire truck!
The Staten Island Children's Museum also features a stage where future thespians can put on a grab performance (complete with costumes!) or explorers can traverse a rainforest, cross a river, dive into the ocean and conquer a tundra!
With building blocks, a pirate ship, life-sized games and so much more to enjoy, could it be possible to have TOO much fun in the one place?
There is only one way to find out kids, and it's at Staten Island!
