Are you looking for something to do with your children over this vacation week? Consider heading down to the Long Island Children’s Museum for a full day of fun for any age.

The Long Island Children’s Museum (LICM) is a hands-on museum for kids and their grownups. You’ll find places to play, learn and have fun – right here in Garden City! 

The many galleries include Bricks and Sticks, where little ones can investigate, build and shape our three-dimensional world using a variety of building blocks and interactive software; Bubbles, where children can blur the boundary between play and experimentation as they step inside a giant bubble, blow bubbles within bubbles and make a giant bubble honeycomb; Changes & Challenges, where children can enter a house, school or outdoor environment and experience how people with differing abilities adapt to daily challenges and ClimbIt@LICM, where children can stretch their muscle and imagination while venturing through this two-story climbing structure and its meandering ramp.

Other galleries include CommunicationStation, mUSic, Our Backyard, Pattern Studio, Sandy Island, ToolBox, TotSpot and Comings & Goings. 

There are special events being held this week due to the holiday break.
