Don't know what to do with your little ones or grandkids on these rainy spring days? Why not experience Tokyo's vibrant culture at the
Children Museum of Manhattan's cool interactive exhibit. Only runs until May 14th!
It will transport families to two distinct areas of Tokyo that exist side by side: one serene and exquisite, the other, too cute for words.
Kawaii Central is a streetscape inspired by Tokyo's bustling Harajuku district, bursting with color, trendy shops and cuter than cute
kawaii styles, (pronounced like Hawai'i). Kids sing karaoke, smile for the photo booth camera, serve up a seasonal Japanese meal, and design adorable mascots for their families.
The beautiful, natural
Shinto shrine park invites children to build a bridge, crawl through a forest, encounter kami spirits, and make a wish at a wishing tree.
The exhibit highlights how old and new traditions coexist in Japan, giving visitors a family-friendly window into Japanese culture.
All of this for FREE through the library's Museum Pass Program!
