Events & Activities

At the Children’s Museum of Manhattan, there’s always something new to explore! Designed for children ages 0–6, our hands-on programs encourage creativity, learning, and play through art, music, science, and storytelling, all rooted in research-backed methods that support early brain development.

From ever-changing themed activities to our daily schedule at PlayWorks, our dedicated space for our youngest visitors, every experience is designed to engage children at the right developmental stage.

With a rotating schedule of interactive programs, there’s always a reason to visit and discover something exciting!

Public Programs are supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council. Programs are also made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. Additional support is provided by the Milton and Sally Avery Arts Foundation.
