Starlab-It's the last weekend to take advantage of the Inflatable Planetarium The Long Island Children's Museum has on loan from The American Museum of Natural History. Without keeping your kids up late at night, they'll be able to enjoy views of the stars during the day. Check the website here for showtimes. Entrance fees to the museum are reasonable ($10), but we suggest becoming a member so it's free everytime you go. To view the Starlab, there is an additional fee of $3 for your kids.
