We roamed the museum between the school groups. During January there is a day that you are able to take a piece of it home with you! The science center doesn’t encourage you to actually eat the once edible house, but it is a fun idea to take home a sugary showpiece to show your friends.

They hold gingerbread workshops during the month of December which are free with admission. The purpose of our trip was to visit the 300-square foot gingerbread village, Gingerbread Lane. Daniel loves bubbles, and with a little help from Aunt Meg, he was able to create them “himself”! John was thrilled now to be able to see everything!
We spent much time (and many coins), watching them swirl around the funnel, around and and around until they finally dropped into oblivion. One of the most beloved “exhibit” for the boys was the donation funnel. Interesting enough, the ashes needed to be dumped somewhere, and Moses decided to use them for the bases for many of the highways and expressways that he developed on Long Island. The property was the dumping ground for ashes from coal-burning furnaces as well as for horse manure and garbage which were later cleared by Robert Moses in preparation for the 1939-40 World’s Fair. The fair was built on “a valley of ashes” as coined by F. It’ is situated next door to the New York State Pavillion and Unisphere, aka the spaceships and large world from the Men in Black movie. The New York Hall of Science was founded in 1964 for the World’s Fair.
In a world where science and technology is the way of the future, yet the emphasis that we place on such things is most certainly not stressed in our schools’ curriculum, The New York Hall of Science is a fantastic way for you and your children to explore science through the over 450 exhibits, demonstrations and workshops that live in this great expanse of a museum located in the middle of Queens.
