Long Island City Museums with Kids: Spending the Day at MoMA PS1, the Noguchi Museum and Socrates Sculpture Park
Submitted by Sarah G on
One of the main reasons visitors go to Long Island City in Queens is to explore the neighborhood's vibrant arts scene. In addition to a slew of galleries, LIC has three big museums: MoMA PS1, the Noguchi Museum and outdoor oasis Socrates Sculpture Park.
Even though all three culture spots regularly offer kids programming and classes, we know some families wonder whether they're worth the trip—especially since PS1 isn't within walking distance of the other two (which are just a block apart). So as part of our month-long focus on Long Island City, my five-year-old son and I set off on an LIC art tour to see if we could hit all three in one day. We had so much fun, we agreed that even though we live over in Brooklyn, we would do it again soon.
