Weekday Event Picks for NYC Kids: Imagination Playground, Séquence 8, Cool Theater April 13-17
The kids head back to public school this week, but you can still carve out a little time for fun. Head to the American Museum of Natural History to see its latest exhibit, Life at the Limits, or enjoy the Brooklyn Museum's play workshops with Imagination Playground. There's also some awesome family theater on tap, like the acrobatic spectacle Séquence 8 at City Center, Egg and Spoon at BAM and The Earth and Me at Brooklyn College.
Although we only highlight one event per day in this post, you can find plenty of other options in our Event Calendar and our Spring Fun Guide.
