Admission is $16 per person for ages 1 and up, free for children under 1. Open Thursday through Sunday 10am-5pm, with extended summer hours. Skip the gift shop on the way out — it is a meltdown waiting to happen. Do not miss the World Brooklyn neighborhood exhibit and the hands-on water play area which is a huge toddler hit. Bring a change of clothes for the water section and arrive early on weekends to beat school groups.
