The Museum of the City of New York has some wonderful old toys and a special Touch Everything section in the New Amsterdam exhibit. During the winter months, there are puppet shows on Saturdays.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Junior Museum offers an excellent introduction to the history and enjoyment of art. Visitors are encouraged to push buttons, listen to recordings and look at slides.
Last in this list is the Museum of the American Indian, a slightly dusty treasure house of genuine possessions of Sitting Bull and other Western heroes.

Oh look. bombed there too pointing to somewhere else. I envied his going to war and I told him this. He would look back at me with his steady brown eyes and say: I don’t blame you, son. They were the best times of my life. Every day was a thrill. We were either bored so we had a party in the mess or we flew out to get shot at by the Germans and bomb people Not very politically correct, my father. No lecture on man’s inhumanity to man; just: The best times of my life I wanted best times of my life too; I wanted to do all the things that my father had done, but I couldn’t make myself join the RAF, because in my mind, everything that made it the place to be was gone. There were no more Spitfires or Hurricanes or Lancaster Bombers; there was no war. I would never drink ice-cold in Alex or horseplay in the mess or run for an air-raid shelter or use blackouts or crouch behind sandbags on a desert airfield perimeter while German bullets whanged overhead, or scramble; scramble across a field in Kent, or be in a crowd in a city in a blackout where everyone wore uniform.
