The Family Room is an online community of The New Children’s Museum — a place for parents and grandparents to connect with one another, for children and young people to learn, for everyone to contribute.
Expanding on your experience with the Museum, The Family Room provides news, advice, a calendar of events worth considering, a place for kids to talk back and a blog for parents and grandparents to chime in on whatever is on your mind. Look for a poll question each week where you can sound off about what’s going on in the world and a monthly Q&A where experts in various fields will discuss topics aimed at helping us as individuals and members of a family.
Please wander around. Sound off on what you like, share your suggestions for what else you’d like to see. We look forward to rousing discussions, meaningful moments and all-around good times.
