Subject:  ISO: Indoor playground recommendation

Comment:  I think the Brooklyn Children's Museum is a great option; they're taking protocols seriously. It's a huge space, and had not been at all crowded recently. Excellent toddler play area.

Subject:  Feedback on Children's Museum or Aquarium?

Comment:  I took my 3 year old to the Brooklyn Children's museum a few weeks ago. There are timed blocks of 1.5 hrs, everyone over 2 I think must be masked. It was not crowded and it was easy to distance. I saw staff cleaning pretty frequently. They have changed some things in response to covid - so there are no more toppings for the pizza in the pizza area and the passenger section of the bus is closed but we still had a great time!

Comment:  There’s also the Brooklyn children’s museum, which if you have a family of 4 and go more than a few times is absolutely worth the annual membership (and also gets you in free at the SI children’s museum and several other places).

Comment:   Brooklyn Children's Museum has a bargain bash package available: http://www.brooklynkids.org/index.php/parties/birthdayparties

Comment:  The BCM is a FABULOUS place. My son and I have been there several times now and we never tire of it. There are a few children's museums in Manhattan (I don't know if there associated...) but they don't have the same rep as Bklyn's. I have no experience with them so I can't speak directly...Regardless, go to the BCM, you won't regret it.(reviewed August 2010)

Comment:  Our guys are 21 months, and they love it. It's really a blast. There are a couple sand boxes as well as a whole toddlers' area with a water feature for them to splash in (they get rubber smocks to stay somewhat dry, but their shoes get soaked), an art class, toys, dress up, and things to climb and pound on. They can sit in the driver's seat of a bus and turn the wheel. We've been there twice and haven't even gotten to everything.(reviewed August 2010)

Comment:  Our daughter has been there a few times with her father (she's now 15 months, and doesn't walk yet) and they've had great fun, with photos to prove it.(reviewed August 2010)
