Winter is a great time to explores some of the fun museums geared toward kids in NYC! We have put together a list of five that are sure to entertain your kids (and maybe even you) on these final chilly days! Plus, the train ride in will be entertainment in and of itself!
The Sloomoo Institute
475 Broadway, New York
The “Sloomooverse” as it’s called, combines scents including birthday cake, fresh berries, cotton candy, and more with sounds that energize and soothe. Plus at the Sloomoo Institute, the kids can design their dream slime at the DIY Bar that includes 4,320,000 unique combinations! It’s a great way for the kids to play with slime, without bringing the slime mess into your living room!

This is one you’re sure to love, too (especially if you love ice cream)! At the Museum of Ice Cream, play in the famous sprinkle pool and ride on our animal cookie carousel, learn all about the history of ice cream and best of all… EAT UNLIMITED ice cream treats in 5 different shapes and forms!
