Military Family Programs are for current and former military service members with children ages 3-18. These two-hour programs include a hands-on tour of the Museum, experiments and design challenges intended to engage the whole family. Join us before the program for refreshments and casual conversation.

Navigation: Finding Your Way

Ships, planes, submarines and even space shuttles use navigation to find their way. Step into a pop-up planetarium to learn how people navigated in the past and how we find our way today.

Veterans Programs are made possible by public funds facilitated by the Councilman Chaim Deutsch, Chair of the Committee on Veterans, in partnership with the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs. These programs are also supported by Craig Newmark Philanthropic Fund.
