Stan D. • April 22, 2016Try the carrot cake in the cafe - it looks as if it's part of the museum exhibit. And the view from there is one of the best in NY.

Dawn :o) D. • September 7, 2012Well, ok maybe for me since I was driving back from Philly and going back to NY. LOL

Amy Z. • August 7, 2014Awesome place for discovery. An afternoon will pass in a blink. The tactile experience of flubber, clay, play dough, dot art, paints and all the special classes are well worth it. Amazing for all!

Arun N. • May 4, 2010Wed evening happy hour from 5-7pm. Great to start your evening there. Not your typical bar ambience in a good way.

Gabriela O. • December 2, 2013Had a pleasant surprise with all the exhibitions, which were quite interesting and complex. I was surprised there were just one or two people at the place. Hope to come here more often when in NY.
