Staten Island Children's Museum
The Children’s Museum at Snug Harbor is a place where kids can learn by actively doing, not just passively watching. Since 1976 the Museum has given children the opportunity to enjoy a unique perspective on art, science and the humanities.
The Museum features an insect exhibit with a human size ant hill and a theatre complete with costumes and props for children to play with. At 3pm, children can feed the Museum’s collection of guinea pigs, fish, toads and bugs. The museum is also fronted by broad lawns which are perfect for games and picnics. In addition, workshops, performances and special events are presented year-round.
The Staten Island Children's Museum is also a great place for elementary school trips. A variety of great programs are available, including several that can be conducted at
school. The Museum also offers programs for children who are mentally or physically challenged, as well as Teacher Orientations and training.
