You cannot say too much about this New York City gem! Located on Central Park West between W. 77th and W. 81st Streets, the very imposing facade is a joy to behold and provides a lot to point to young children. Older sections have fascinating turrets and of course there is the famous statue of Teddy Roosevelt on a horse at the main entrance. Once inside, most kids want to head straight to the dinosaurs and they are wonderful, but there is so much more to explore. In addition to the special exhibits, my own grandkids love wandering through the maze of fascinating objects in the Hall of Minerals. The Museum usually has an IMAX film production (extra fee) and of course the Rose Planetarium is worthy of a separate visit. If the time spent at the museum gets to be too much for some, you can always walk out of the front door, cross the street, and enjoy some relaxing strolls (and great playgrounds -- topic for another post) in Central Park.
