    A tug boat in dry dock 1
    Melissa D.

    Here's a great, FREE, place to kill a couple of hours. The museum is housed in a sustainable building that was constructed in 1 week out of salvaged USS Carolina materials. The bathroom water is recycled rainwater, which is held in an underground cistern. The beautiful original materials combined with the modern designs makes for an impressive, artistic space. The installations include the permanent naval yard history with interactive maps and recordings as well as temporary galleries filled with the goods manufactured at the naval yard. Step outside and you can see the few remaining operational dry docks. If you're lucky, they'll be a tug boat, ferry, or other ship being worked on. Apparently there's a pretty decent cafe here as well, though I didn't have a chance to visit.

    Beaitul mini museum that shows the Brooklyn Navy yards in its back 8n the days, it's free to go in lots of things to see full exhibition

    Interesting. A lot of history relating to brooklyn and New York City. Unfortunately, not much to see. It would've been cool if there was more access to the exterior of the navy yard.

    If you're an American history fan, a fan of the Armed Forces, specifically the Navy, or just wandering about in Brooklyn looking for something interesting to do you should totally check this place out. It's such a nice exhibition of some of the history of the what once was a functioning navy yard. The lady at the front desk so was nice and quite informative. Visitation fee is suggested donation. Thanks for preserving our American history!

    Nice educational experience. Geared more toward kids, but something adults can walk around and appreciate too. Spend time on each exhibit since it isn't very big and its the kind of place that's full of fun facts for cocktail parties in Park Slope or the Upper East Side.

    A great place to learn about Brooklyn history, especially if you combine it with one of Turnstile Tours' tours of the Navy Yard.

People I could never get to step a toe in a museum now beg me to come with them to see some trendy exhibit they heard about. Marketing has improved immensely. They've expanded their reach beyond geeks and schoolchildren to a wide variety of people, and that's good. It keeps the museum alive. It's just no longer one of my favorite places personally. What I miss the most are the old First Saturdays that no one knew about. I'd look forward to them all month like a child looks forward to Christmas. It felt like Brooklyn's best kept secret. Now you have to preregister to get sardined. I'm not much of a noisy crowd person, so I end up leaving early the rare occasion I attempt to go. I do enjoy the salsa parties. Those are fun. Staff can be rude as all else. I've never personally had an issue, but I've seen some uncalled for behavior towards other patrons, especially if they give touristy vibes. The littlest thing can set someone off. It's completely uncalled for.

Could there really be a space focused on such a specific event, and how do you even get enough pieces to make it a complete museum? However, my curiosity made me want to check out THNK1994, and I was really glad I did. My sister and I went with my nephew, and I will admit that this place may seem lame if you didn't grow up knowing about this 1994 Olympic scandal. We tried to make our excitement contagious, but he could not be bothered. However, we enjoyed seeing the tabloid covers, memorabilia, and artwork inspired by the Harding/Kerrigan kerfuffle. There was one floor each dedicated to both skaters, and it was fun talking to the owners about the inspiration behind the museum. The museum also has rotating exhibits: when I was there, they had a Real Housewives-inspired show. It's a kitschy, campy place that is definitely worth a visit if you are looking for a unique experience!

I do recommend playing the weather simulator game since it has a bunch of options to play solo and coop. Then there's the box bird game that pins two players to collect as much points as you can. Pretty simple. I did enjoy this fighting game that doesn't require much knowledge. It has your simple lows and heavys and an auto combo. Pork was a great character to play with. Definitely recommend coming here

It's fairly simple to get to the museum from Manhattan via public transit. Located in Williamsburg, a short distance from the Morgan Ave subway station. It can be a bit tricky to get into the building, you may have to buzz the intercom to get access to the building, go down the stairs once you're in, and follow the signs. The museum itself is one good sized room with a separate area serving as a gift shop. The exhibition room is well organized and has a lot packed into it. Along with labeled specimens, there are signs explaining the history of skeletons in medical education, and various ways those skeletons were obtained over the ages. Fun fact, up until the mid 1980s, anyone could buy a real skeleton from your choice of several companies. The staff treats the bones with respect and provides details on why they have created the museum to house the specimens and continue to use them for educational purposes after their original purchasers have died or no longer need them. They're eager to answer questions and share their knowledge. Alas I didn't get to meet the resident museum cat, Bone Jovi, as he had decided he was finished with greeting people for the day. I was in the museum for about 2 hours or so, I like to read everything, so other people may make it through more quickly. It's good for an afternoon or morning activity. The gift shop is full of fun stuff. They have items for kids and adults ranging from toys up to modern resin "teaching" bones that medical students use today in place of real human bones. Definitely check this place out!

I'm going to try to entice you and not spoil the experience because it is thoughtfully curated and should be experienced live, in person. We started with one of the inspirations for Ghostbusters! Right off the bat, I was hooked as I love that movie and anything Dan Aykroyd. We learned about a Secret cave in Central Park, the iconic Dakota Building, we passed by Needle Park, where "Waiting for Mr Goodbar" was filmed in 1977 (RIP Diane Keaton!), and saw, among other sites, where James Baldwin lived and discussed art and films, like "The Exorcist" with Toni Morrison. That was a fascinating film review to read and learn about! You finish the tour where Edgar Allan Poe wrote and first published one of the most famous poems ever written, "The Raven", in The New York Evening Mirror on January 29, 1845. I had no idea I lived so near to such fascinating history! I'm grateful to B.O.T.D. for being such cool teachers! I am very much looking forward to taking additional tours with you to continue this unique journey of my complex and beloved City.

    We visited this museum for the first time today with our toddler. We bought the tickets online and…read morethey were scanned once we entered the museum. The only ticket that was $0 was for kids under 1 year old. My toddler was not. For the 3 of us it was $45 which I thought was a bit much. They also have annual memberships starting at $120. That may be something to consider if you plan to visit the museum multiple times. There was a Lunar New Year celebration at the museum today so we went to check it out. They had a museum wide lion dance parade as well as activities for the kids which included: Kung fu moves demo, ribbon dance workshop, calligraphy, and storytime with Author Michele Wong McSween of "Gordon and Li Li: Celebrate Chinese New Year. We also got to meet City Council member, Susan Zhang who had a booth there. Our little one enjoyed the lion dances and the exhibits as well as walking outside on the 2nd floor outdoor area. I'm looking forward to bringing her here again for other events. Things to consider - it did get a bit crowded because of the event and also the cafe that served food was alright. They ran out of some food items and the quantity of the food they were giving for the prices was not okay. I'll be bringing my own food for my toddler and us next time.
