How the Chrysler Building got its Crown

RSVP Sat, Nov 30, 2024 at 10:30 AM

Want to learn about how the Chrysler Building’s fancy scalloped crown and needle spire helped it win the title of “World’s Tallest Building” in 1930? Kids will learn about New York’s famous Art Deco skyscrapers, now nearly a century old, and then inspired by their artistry, we’ll create our own spire-like top hats to wear home! All ages welcome.

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 Ticketstripe 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? Fall programs are supported by a Community Partnership with the Battery Park City Authority.
