Please note, the Museum is temporarily closed  due to our HVAC construction, reopening in  January 2025. During this time, Family, Family Plus, Just for Two and IDNYC SICM members will have special access to museum options that can be found HERE.

Your adventure starts here!

The pets await your care in our Pets & People exhibit, there are fish and oysters to catch in Sea of Boats, a conveyer belt to run in House About It, games to play strategically in our Big Games exhibit, airways to experiment with in Great Explorations, and a fully outfitted stage rigged and prepared for performers in Portia’s Playhouse.  And, you will always find new surprises as you explore!

Please check our list of Frequently Asked Questions to help plan your visit. We recommend purchasing your ticket in advance of your visit to ensure admittance.  If you prefer a quieter visit, there are fewer groups on weekday afternoons.
