Jewish Children's Museum Tours

With more than five floors of themed galleries, including games, multimedia displays, and interactive exhibitions—Brooklyn’s Jewish Children's Museum is the largest and most comprehensive museum of its kind in the United States. 

Children discover famous biblical stories, learn about Jewish traditions and customs, and dive into Jewish history through the museum’s exhibitions. Kids get hands-on and interact, whether it's by climbing on a gigantic Shabbat table, shopping at a kosher supermarket, taking part in a cooking class in the kosher kitchen, or discovering traditional handicrafts in a shtetl holiday village. Other activities include a 6-hole miniature golf course, a rock climbing wall, and a games gallery.

The museum is located along Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. The closest subway station is the 2, 3, 4 at Nostrand Avenue, three blocks away. 

The museum is open Monday to Thursday from mid-morning to mid-afternoon, and Sundays from morning to early evening. It is closed on Friday and Saturday. 

Other spots in Brooklyn that keep kids entertained include Prospect Park, with highlights including walking trails, a boating lake, and Prospect Park Zoo. On the water, Brooklyn Bridge Park has numerous picnic areas, cycling paths, and playgrounds. There is also the nearby Brooklyn Children’s Museum; the children’s space at the Brooklyn Public Library, Central Branch; and Coney Island amusement park.
