Family Programs at the Skyscraper Museum

Family Programs

The Skyscraper Museum hosts a rotating repertoire of Family Programs in which children engage with an educator to explore the principles of urbanism, architecture, and engineering through hands-on activities. We have resumed in-person programs, which are held outdoors and outside the Museum, weather permitting. Indoor programs and hand-on activities take place in the gallery with masks and social-distancing required. Some programs have a hybrid, online option. Please specify how you will attend.

Family Programs meet at The Skyscraper Museum at 39 Battery Place at 10:30am and conclude by noon. The programs are free, but registration is required. Use the RSVP buttons to sign up and you’ll receive further instructions on links and preparing for activities. To sign up for the Family Program newsletter or for more information, email [email protected] or call 212-945-6324. Stay up to date with our Family Program Newsletter. Sign up today!

A video archive of these programs and other educational resources is available on our page LEARNING FROM HOME.
