New York City has some of the world\u2019s finest museums.<\/strong> The Met is the city\u2019s answer to Paris\u2019 Louvre, the Museum of Modern Art houses both the recognizable and avant garde, and the Guggenheim has visitors in awe before they step through the doors. The draw of New York<\/a>\u2019s cultural institutions is obvious to most travelers, but is often underappreciated by the smallest ones. Even the most cultured children often have a hard time staying still and listening to lectures in the halls of world-famous museums.<\/p>\n For parents hoping to engender a real sense of cultural awareness in their children, while keeping them in their element, the Children\u2019s Museum of Manhattan<\/strong> is a godsend. Many of New York Habitat accommodations in the Upper West Side<\/a> share the\u00a0 Children’s Museum of Manhattan\u2019s blend of cultural and kid cache and are available throughout the year.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Children\u2019s Museum of Manhattan (CMOM) offers authentic cultural learning experiences, hands-on workshops and kid-friendly performances that range from rowdy pop-rock concerts to calming author readings. <\/strong>CMOM<\/strong> is first and foremost an educational space, and one that mixes fun and learning. CMOM\u2019s exhibits tackle a diverse range of issues from literacy to creativity. The museum boasts a floor dedicated solely to pre-schoolers, exhibits designed to introduce art, science and literature. The\u00a0museum even has a healthy living programming encouraging good nutrition and daily exercise. In addition to the permanent exhibitions on display, the museum hosts a calendar full of daily drop-in workshops allowing children to explore their creative side or refine their motor skills, all in a supervised and social setting.
