fine, but not great

I visited the place on Friday evening without paying the admissions. I have to thank the museum and Target for this opportunity. The place was understandably crowded, and my 5-year-old son liked it. But as a father who has taken him to other kids’ museums in the city, I would say that this one is for small children under five. The basement part, which is related to science and technology, seems to be the most impressive part, but we did not realize its existence until it was about to close. The most memorable one is a projector which allows you to use your shadow to guild your boat through the treacherous waters inhabited by Scylla and chrybdis (sp?). As a Staten Island resident, I would recommend the Staten Island Children museum. My son and I visited there for about ten times, and believe it or not, both of us learned something new every time.
