Children’s Museum of Manhattan
If you have an aspiring doctor at home, don’t miss the chance to take them to the Children’s Museum of Manhattan’s EatSleepPlay exhibit on the Upper West Side. Learn what a healthy lifestyle consists of with educational games and play centers, one of which is even in the form of the digestive system! The exhibits help to explain why sleep is so important and that nothing is as powerful as staying active and eating right.
You can even meet “The Sprouts”, a clan of vegetables with their own superpowers and impressive dance moves, who teach children how tasty and versatile veggies are. By the time you’re through, your little ones will be in tip top shape. Feel good knowing all of the information you’ll be learning is based on the newest medical research.
