Free Stuff!

Sometimes we let free summer activities slip through our fingers, not because we don't want to partake in them, but mostly because we forget, and no one reminds us.

Here is a little reminder from your friendly Area KIDS semi manager :0)

These are just a few FREE activities offered in our very own NYC, all are kid friendly :0)

The Brooklyn Museum of Art is free 5–11pm the first Saturday of every month. (The first free Saturdays at the Museum are awesome! The museum opens the ballroom and offers different music every month)

The New York Botanical Garden is free all day Wednesday and Saturday 10am–noon.

The Whitney Museum of American Art is pay-what-you-wish admission Fridays 6–9pm.

The interactive 6,200-square-foot SoHo Scholastic Store is fun for kids of all ages. Free Saturday events inlcude author readings and character visits.
