John Gore
Broadway producer, Irving Berlin's White Christmas
"The (Broadway) shows tend to start on time; it’s not the movies. There are no adverts or trailers. There is a whole group of actors waiting to step on that stage. They are all there waiting for you so plan to arrive ahead of show time.” |

From the toy soldier at the front door, you'll notice this store is a special destination for kids. The flagship store has three floors and 50,000 feet of kid delights. The Giant Piano Dancers opening ceremony is on Saturdays and Sundays and happens at 15 minutes and 45 minutes after the hour. You can even try it yourself but you might think twice after watching the professionals make their own magic. On the first floor are giant life-sized stuffed animals (and littler ones too!), including the American Kennel Club's purebred plush dogs and puppies crafted by legendary maker Steiff. On the second floor, you'll find the giant piano that Tom Hanks danced on in Big as well as areas you can make your own Hot Wheels, Madame Alexander dolls, adopt a baby at a newborn nursery, design a Barbie, ALEX crafts and much more. On the lower level is the baby, toddler, pre-school area, the Book Nook and a special nursing area. Storytime runs at 1pm and 3pm Monday-Friday. |

Audience participation is a key feature so come prepared to express your opinion.

Much to do and much to see! The dinosaur fossil presentation on the fourth floor is one of the coolest displays of sheer magnitude, featuring the formidable creatures in action poses. The dino bones are among the best in the world and for more drama, T-Rex has recently been reset so that he (she?) stands as in life. The Hall of Human Origins reconnects us with our cousins, the Neanderthals, and The Hall of Ocean Life, with a massive whale suspended above, gives a sense of the size of the ocean - big. The Hall of Meteorites, upgraded in 2003, features "Ahnighito," the biggest iron meteor on display in the world. It weighs in at 34 tons! The Rose Center for Earth & Space includes the Hayden Planetarium and is one of the main draws of the Museum.
Note: The Museum's special ice rink Polar Rink, made from synthetic ice will not reopen this winter. |
