Animal Icons:
Ornamental Animals on NYC Skyscrapers

Join us to discover the animal world that decorates some of New York City skyscrapers.
Sat, Jul 22, 2023

Birds and beasts above! Join us to discover the animal world that decorates some of New York City skyscrapers, from the dog’s heads and pelicans that ornament the Woolworth Building to the eagle head “gargoyles” on the Chrysler Building. After a slideshow, we’ll design our own animal additions to some of the city’s iconic buildings!

This is an in-person children’s program that meets at the Skyscraper Museum, 39 Battery Pl.

You must reserve a place for your child/family by clicking the “RSVP” button above. This will forward you to Eventbrite for registration. After registering, you will receive emails to confirm your attendance through a Google Form (you only need to fill this out once). If you do not confirm attendance by the Friday morning before the program, your places will be canceled. Every child should be accompanied by a parent/guardian.

Family programs are free! Reservation priority is given to The Skyscraper Museum members. Want to become a member? Summer programs are supported by a Community Partnership with the Battery Park City Authority.
