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.

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