South Street Seaport Museum: Wonderful Family Programming at the Reopened Culture Spot
Submitted by Petek on
While the South Street Seaport Museum on Fulton Street is currently closed due to ongoing Hurricane Sandy-related repairs, you can still visit its Water Street attractions including the Maritime Crafts Center, where you can watch pros carve wooden masterpieces, and the historic Bowne & Co. Stationers. Due to all the damage sustained during Sandy, the museum is in more need of visitor support than ever so if possible make a donation and sign up for the email list to stay informed about any updates..
Before it closed due to financial problems in March 2011, we were big fans of the South Street Seaport Museum. In fact, we raved about this lesser known museum in one of our very first posts on Mommy Poppins.
Thanks to being taken over by the Museum of the City of New York, the South Street Seaport Museum is back in business and its revamped slate of family programming is really making a splash. My daughter and I went to check out the reopened space, and even got the chance to participate in a cool Mini Mates program aimed specifically at toddlers and preschoolers.
