If you're looking for somewhere fun and educational to take your children, try the new Bronx Children's Museum. The Bronx Children's Museum transports your child into an immersive experience with different sights, sounds and feels.
Until now. The museum opened for the first time this week, with brand new exhibits that allow children to think through exploration. "It's the greatest borough in the city, and these are things we want to bring to the forefront of what we teach the kids about, that the Bronx in and of itself is important," Arts Program Manager Christopher Gomez said.
"You can see the casita in our space, you can see the bodega in our space, so again we're bringing the community into the museum as a reflection of what's around us," said STEAM Program Manager Adriana Burkins. The Bronx Children's Museum was founded back in 2005. Precht said they took exhibits on the go to different schools and community events, but now they have an actual space.
