The Long Island Children's Museum is located in the former airplane hangar in Nassau Community College in Long Island’s Garden City. This popular kids’ venue has 14 interactive hands-on exhibits, a live theater, fun art spaces, and many planned daily activities that can keep kids of all ages busy and happy for hours. The two-story ClimbIt© structure has ramps going up and down in a spiral, using up some of that abundant energy. The kids will also love creating giant bubbles in the Bubble Gallery, making "rain" in the Our Backyard gallery, or playing all kinds of musical instruments. There is also a small theater with regular shows. The museum is one of the most popular venues for kids’ birthday parties in the city.
