The votes are in! Visit the NYS Museum to see what objects are on display for this very special exhibit curated by kids from around the state! 

Families can meet with Museum curators and scientists, attend musical performances, and participate in a variety of hands-on activities. Color at the crayon table, pick up a book at the reading nook, go on a scavenger hunt, and take a selfie at the photo booth! And as always, take a ride on the Museum’s historic Carousel!

Grab a bite to eat at Big Don’s Café open from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
