Museum Mania in Brooklyn

On Sunday, we went to the Brooklyn Childrens Museum (which is closing for construction work on 9/3), had a picnic on a park bench, and then visited the NY Transit Museum (both the main branch in Brooklyn and the little satellite in GCT in Manhattan). Mikro had fun, especially in pretending to drive buses and trains.

BCM has a cool collection of live animals, a garden area, an area devoted to musical instruments (many of which the kids can handle and play), lots of stations for drawing, and much more. Instead of a stairway between floors, there is a wierd neon lit tin tunnel with a watercourse down the middle. It is supposed to be getting much bigger when they are done with construction. Definitely worth another visit, though perhaps not on a special event day, because it was an overcrowded zoo this weekend, as families all rushed to squeeze it in before the closure...
