Best Museums For Children

Location: Jersey City, NJ

Exhibit Highlights: Budding MDs between the ages of 5 and 12 can perform surgery — on a banana — as part of the Live Science program. Navigate the pitch-black Touch Tunnel using all senses except for sight, and explore the wonders of the food chain at Eat and Be Eaten.

Insider Info: If you're planning on seeing an Imax movie while visiting the museum, then save money by purchasing your tickets together. If you live in New Jersey, then Liberty Science Center doesn't want your learning to end when you leave the museum. Check out Science Near You to explore additional science-learning opportunities throughout the state.

Family-Friendly Amenities: While the Science Center's opportunities for school-aged kids are both exciting and extensive, there's not much here for tiny tots. Save your visit until the entire family can enjoy it!
