Sugar Hill Children's Museum of Art & Storytelling

I live in Queens and happily make this trip with my 5 (almost 6) year old son. This children’s museum is not a germy indoor playground, it’s an interactive modern art museum that challenges a child’s perspective. This is a great museum for children AND parents. I found that my son & I were talking about the exhibits on the ride home and well into the evening.

A place where kids can have fun and make art but it is not really a museum for kids as whatever little art is there is fairly modern and not easy to interpret. Still the kids that came with us had a lot of fun because of all the activities and the things they could make. The staff of the museum help to make things as well

Tickets for kids are free for below 8 and $4 for kids till 17. Adults it is $7. They also have books and other small artwork for sale. They also have storytelling sessions which you can find out about by just calling them. The staff were quite friendly.

It was a nice experience, went with my 5 yr old as we were looking for something cheap and fun to do. We went on a weekday and there wasn't a lot of kids there which was nice. My daughter and I both liked the activities they have readily available for the kids (drawing table, wooden blocks and other things). I gave it 4 stars and not 5 as I wish the museum was bigger. We were done with everything in 1.5 hrs.

This place was absolutely amazing! The staff were pleasant and inviting. Alexander our tour guide was especially wonderful with my students. He was engaging, knowledgeable and very patient. He made the experience for my students as well as for the teachers & parents an experience they'll never forget.

The art on display is unique and impressive. They have art by several ethnic artists and the space is large and welcoming. I will definitely be bringing my students here year after year for a field trip.

They are also open to the public and we did see a few families with toddlers there.
