Free Night at the Museum
If you are looking for a fun activity to help chase those winter blues away, visit the Children's Museum of Manhattan. It's free on the first Friday of every month from 5 to 8 p.m.
The Playworks exhibit is geared for kids who are infants to 4 years old. The museum Web site described the exhibit this way:
"Feed alphabet letters to a talking baby dragon, drive a New York City fire truck, paint on a six-foot art wall, make your way through a crawling challenge course, and connect an air tube puzzle. PlayWorks is an immersive, child-sized environment that helps parents and caregivers see the extraordinary in the ordinary — strengthening the family as the center of first learning by encouraging your child’s natural and robust capacity to learn. PlayWorks helps build the skills, attitudes and behaviors your children will need for kindergarten and throughout life."
Sounds like fun to me. I'm sure I can convince my husband to get out of work early one day, dine in a family friendly restaurant in NYC. (Is there such a thing in the big city???) Then, hopefully with our stomachs full, we will head off to an adventure our boy is sure to love.
The museum is located in The Tisch Building, 212 W. 83rd St., between Broadway and Amsterdam on Manhattan's Upper West Side.
For more details, call the museum at (212) 721-1223 or visit http://www.cmom.org/
