Floors of Fun – For Manhattan-dwelling parents who think activities for kids end at South Street Seaport, think again. Just a ferry cruise and short bus ride away is this intimate children's museum, nestled deep in the picturesque grounds of the Snug Harbor Cultural Center. SICM is packed with five permanent hands-on arts/science exhibits that mommies and daddies, too, will enjoy. – – Romper Rooms – One exhibit lets tykes become radio announcers, arctic explorers, archaeologists or scuba divers for an afternoon.

I am so glad my 9 year old did not out gro this place

A year ago, I thouught my kids outgrew this place. I was sad. But I was wrong. So we took his other BFF. Here they are playing if front of the cool mural that thanks all the sponsors.
The place was packed today. The kids don't care, but I think some of the soccer moms were wishing Spring Break would already end and they could get back to their routines. They would probably enjoy their children's vacation if they would leave the high heals home and stop texting when they children need them.
Anyway, we finally got there to enjoy the Snack Zone. I have heard the food was great, but they are only open till 1:30. The 2 boys had a kids meal (grilled cheese, juice box and a (fairly) healthy snack) and I had a GREAT roast beef wrap for less that 8 bucks. I woulda spent $10 more to eat cr*p and a fast food place. Whoo Whoo!!
