Intrepid Museum Announces 2023 Kids Week

February 18 – 25

Family-Friendly Week of Fun, Educational Programming During NYC Public School Winter Break

Pier 86 (46th Street and 12th Avenue), Manhattan

The Intrepid Museum will host its annual Kids Week festival this year from Saturday, February 18–Saturday, February 25. During Kids Week, children of all ages and interests will learn about STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts & math) through fun-filled activities, live animal shows, hands-on workshops, performances, special guests and interactive demonstrations designed to educate and inspire.

This year, Kids Week will feature three days of programming from NASA. NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center will highlight their latest moon habitat concepts, technology, and planetary mission plans, and NASA’s Artemis Team will speak about sending astronauts to the Moon and Mars. Kids can also meet Astronaut Jessica Watkins and hear about her experiences in space!

Additional programming throughout Kids Week will include a chance for kids to create their own constellation, meet exotic animals, design a lunar habitat for life on the moon, concoct their own slime, and observe Isaac Newton’s laws of motion through an abundantly engaging physics performance.

Kids Week programming partners include the American Society of Civil Engineers, Ballet HispĂ¡nico School of Dance, Beardsley Zoo, Billion Oyster Project, Gazillion Bubble Show, Jenkinson’s Aquarium, Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory, Mad Science, NASA, ROBOFUN, Rockefeller Production’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show, STEM From Dance, Two by Two Animal Haven, the Wildlife Conservation Society, Naval Submarine League, Rube Goldberg, DogMan the Musical, Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, NYC Ghostbusters League, Zack and Zoey Adventures, a meet and greet with authors Debbie Loren Dunn and Tami Lewis Brown, and a special appearance by Blue Man Group.
