About the provider

Founded in 1899, Brooklyn Children’s Museum says it is the world’s first children’s museum. Its mission is to create experiences that ignite curiosity, celebrate identity, and cultivate joyful learning. The museum serves 300,000 children and caregivers annually and says it commits to serving all families regardless of ability to pay, building community for parents and children, reaching beyond its walls into schools and other neighborhoods, using local vendors and supporting small business, employing Brooklynites, and paying 100% of health premiums for staff, their spouses, and dependents.

• September Closure — BCM is Closed! Every year, we roll up our sleeves and spend two weeks cleaning, fixing, and improving every inch of Brooklyn Children’s Museum.

Standard admission discounts do not apply to group visits.
