This Spring Break Week, the Museum of the City of New York partners with The Giant Room to bring amazing, drop-in STEAM activity stations to our Ground Floor classroom spaces on Monday April 10, Tuesday April 11, and Wednesday April 12 from 11:00am – 2:00pm each day! 

Geared towards families with children ages 5 – 12 years old, included with Museum admission. Pre-registration is recommended! 

Inspired by our hit exhibition, Food In New York: Bigger Than the Plate, we invite younger visitors and their families to think, experiment and design for a more equitable, socially diverse, and, not least, delicious future of food in New York City! 

Each day there will be three activity stations inspired by Food In New York: Bigger Than the Plate  

Activity Stations:

  • NYC Food Maps: Make your own "Food Map" of the city and share your favorite spots! 

  • Food Trucks & Street Food: Design your own food trucks out of GIANT laser cut models, decide what to serve on their trucks and play! 

  • DIY Urban Gardens: Design your own mini urban gardens out of laser cut wood panels and learn about urban farming! 

These drop-in activities are free with Museum admission and presented in partnership with The Giant Room. 

Sponsors

Family Programs are made possible in part by the Margaret S. Ogden and Stephen A. Ogden Memorial Fund, Milton and Sally Avery Arts Foundation, and Tianaderrah Foundation.
