Had a company event here. It's a cool space if you bring... everything. We had a BBQ, but rented a tent/furniture and brought our own booze. It's not exactly a private area since it's a park, but it's private enough. It's next to the astroturf area, which is actually not dog friendly, but luckily for us, we only got yelled at toward the end of our event. Didn't actually go inside to check out the museum, but was told there wasn't much to see.

Excellent museum. 1) Come here if you are around the area. Entrance is by donation. Which is nice. (3 dollar recommended). 2) This home was built by Dutch settlers in 1699. Later, it became the site of the Battle of Brooklyn. (Fun fact: Brooklyn was a loyalist county.) 3) Must visit if you are around the area.

Small house... We didn't check out the second floor because there was a private event. The first floor is all about the Battle Of Brooklyn. It's basically a mini museum. You won't spend more than 30 mins there. The lady who greeted us were very friendly & polite. $3 suggested donation

I volunteered in the gardens Summer of 2017 and hope to continue volunteering. This is a historical site and the mission of the Old Stone House is to teach local history and to serve the community with family programs related to arts and cultural events that bring the community together. You can check out their events on their website. They have exhibitions up inside the house. I loved volunteering in the Permaculture gardens, there are actually 10 gardens here maintained by one amazing woman gardener. I would love to work here. It is worth checking out the events and viewing the gardens in the summer. There is also a cool playground with water features for the kids. A fantastic historic place for the community to come together.

This is such a cute little historic site. It has revolutionary war significance. Kim is the docent here. She's so pleasant and knowledgeable. If you're in the area you should definitely check it out.

A bit of histort

There is not much to look at inside unless you are a history buff and particularly enjoy facts on the American Revolution.

The THNK1994 Museum - .... Well that sucks when you come way out of your way and they're closed with a paper sign up. I'm so disappointed.

When my sister told me about a museum dedicated to the Tonya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan scandal, I…read morecouldn't believe it. 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!

Hands down the best attraction in Brooklyn right now. The insanely intelligent and hilarious Matt…read moreand Viviana have created a beautiful space that showcases social phenomenons through artifacts and beautiful pieces of art. The events they host are a blast and are cheaper than stupid cover fees at your favorite bar or club. All the hype you're reading online is real, go see it for yourself.

So it really pulls you into this sort of portal where you're fully locked in on games and then you look up and its been 3 hours, love it. Drinks are fine but they are a great price. Got the Waaaluigi which was really tasty and pretty unique! The wonder punch was a classic tropical rum drink and good but was a little watery. Absolutely LOVE the music here, both live and regular music through the speakers once the live shows are done. They also have a backyard outdoor courtyard that is perfect for a quick break to touch grass before going back in and screentimemaxxing again

This place is pretty sweet as you enter and feel the inner child/nerd come out. It's great place to bring the boys out to hang out, a place decent date night with your partner and for anybody in general. The employees were nice to introduce me to their specialty drinks and other items. I ended up getting the Appletini which had a somewhat sweet yet sour taste. Pretty good 7/10. 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

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. Otherwise, it was a fun day for the family.

The oldest Children's Musuem in the world is one you should check out! Yes, it isn't really the…read morenewest but it has some really worthwhile exhibits and playspaces that will occupy your kids. Everyone 1+ is $15. I'd say the perfect age is somewhere around 2.5-3 yo to really enjoy all the areas here. The bottom floor features a bunch of storefronts including a very popular grocery whichwas packed. My kids loved making phone calls, grocery shopping, driving the bus, making bread, watching a taped performance, and honestly just running around. There is a small nature section and tons of toddler sections for littler ones. Upstairs, there is a great enclosed area to engage in art project and then some more rotating exhibits. There was also a cafe area to buy or bring snacks. It's not huge but definetly kept my kids occupied for 2+ hrs on a very frigid winter day.
