6 New Exhibits Every NYC Family Will Be Talking About This Winter

When: Opens January 18, 2020

What to expect: The newest exhibit to open at CMOM lets guests become completely immersed in—and even make their own—contemporary art. Featuring the work of 10 critically-acclaimed artists, the exhibit is all about exploration and play, inviting kids and adults alike to walk around, crawl through, peek into and even help build new large scale installations, participating in everything from solving massive puzzles to burrowing through kid-sized groundhog dwellings. Best for children ages three to 10, this 3,000-square-foot exhibit will get brains working and pent-up energy burning.

6. Superpowered Metropolis at the Children’s Museum of Manhattan

When: Opens February 14, 2020

What to expect: It’s a big winter at CMOM: they’re also introducing Superpowered Metropolis for its youngest guests. Designed for kids ages newborn to six and their caregivers, the 1,500-square-foot exhibit—which opens on Valentine’s Day!—lets little ones become superheroes in a colorful, comic book version of New York City. All about building brain power, kids will have the chance to climb through a treehouse, make sounds in a musical subway car and even drive a “pigeon mobile” through the city, all with the help of Zip, Zap and Zoom, a team of pigeons who will guide you along your merry way.
