Hands-on and interactive explanations of scientific concepts, especially appropriate for children. By participating in a series of hands-on activities, children will learn about kinetic energy, angular momentum, and simple machines. For example, a giant seesaw at the science playground balances a whole classroom of kids at once. And instead of video games, there’s a game where kids hit the target with a beam of sunlight and literally make things start spinning.

Be sure to attend the presentations held by the young and spirited staff members. Your kids won't believe how fun it can be to explore the wonder and excitement of biology, chemistry and physics!

Before you go, we recommend that you get your young ones excited by looking around the interactive elements of the Hall of Science web site. Note that the web site is also the best source for information about hours, admission fees and special programs and events.

To get there by subway, take the #7 to 111th Street.

Note: This is one of the attractions our editors voted as one of our "Top 5 Picks for Kids."
