Brooklyn Children’s Museum
Free Thursdays, 2-6 pm
The Brooklyn Children’s Museum has something for kids of all ages. With fun, educational exhibits (展览) that teach children about world cultures, history, science and nature, including live animals and a collection of 30,000 historical objects, even parents will enjoy it. There’s also a special area for children under five, with activities for the youngest of youngsters.
New York Hall of Science
Free Fridays, 2-5 pm, and Sundays, 10-11 am
Kids get hands-on experience with science and technology at this place that offers more than 450 exhibits. There are a few worthwhile things to spend money on during your visit: a round of Rocket Park Mini Golf, a turn in the 60,000-square-foot Science Playground and a screening inside the 3-D theater.
Queens County Farm Museum
Grounds free daily (check to see if a ticketed public event is being held)
As the oldest working farm in New York City, the museum feels like a totally different world than Manhattan. Feed and pet animals like sheep, ponies and goats, tour farm buildings from three different centuries, and come back during fall when you can go pumpkin (南瓜) picking. Don’t forget to stop by the store on your way out for fresh fruits and vegetables grown on the farm!
Waterfront Museum and Showboat Barge
Free Thursdays, 4-8 pm, and Saturdays, 1-5 pm
Come tour this large history wooden boat that lies in Brooklyn’s Red Hook, not far from the Fairway Market. Check to see if a performance (表演) is taking place — perhaps a magic?, music? or history-related event that may cost money.
