It's a big day for the itty-bitty residents of the Boogie Down borough: The long-awaited Bronx Children's Museum has finally opened its brick-and-mortar location after more than a decade of offering programming to area residents as a museum without walls.

I'm sure she's not the only one feeling this way after exploring its eye-popping murals, sprawling water table, and Bronx-inspired exhibits
