FAQs

  • Where is the Museum located?
    Bronx Children's Museum's facility is located at 725 Exterior Street, Bronx, NY 10451 See a map here. We also offer advance mobile programming to approximately 80 sites all over the Bronx every year!
  • What are the open hours of the Museum?
    We are currently open Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from 10AM-1PM and 2PM-5PM. Advance reservations are required.
  • How much does it cost to visit the Museum?
    Admission is pay-as-you-wish during the Museum's initial opening period which will last for several months. Admission will be $8/person. Children under 1 year old will be Free. We plan to offer many discount opportunities, including Museums for All, Cool Culture, and NYC Cultural Pass.
  • Is there a café or a store in the Museum?
    Unfortunately, our small space will not allow for either a café or a store. We encourage visitors to eat across the street at one of the restaurants in the Bronx Terminal Market. And of course, visitors are welcome to picnic in nearby Mill Pond Park!
  • How can I support the Bronx Children's Museum?
    Consider making a monetary donation to help us provide free admission during our initial opening period, and help us sustain our in-demand outreach programs. Or make an in-kind donation of art supplies that the Museum can use in its mobile programming by contacting info@bronxchildrensmuseum.org.
  • Can the Museum come to my school?
    We work with a limited number of schools each year, based on funding and availability. To discuss a Museum visit, please email Concetta Gleason.
  • How do I know which Museum program is right for my school?
    We currently offer eight programs: a combination of in-school, after-school and community- based. Most of our programs are specific to areas of the Bronx. For example, “Little Friends of the High Bridge” is designed for children living within walking distance to the High Bridge, while “Little Friends of Orchard Beach” is specific to those schools closest to Pelham Bay Park. In some instances, we provide programming to districts whose Council Members have provided funding for a specific program. If you have any questions regarding programming, contact Concetta Gleason.
  • Who is your programming for?
    As an early childhood organization, our exhibits, programming and materials are targeted for children aged 0-9 and their caregivers, but we also participate in larger events which are open to the general public.
