Our family has always enjoyed visiting the NYS Museum over the years. In addition to the permanent exhibits, they regularly offer special programs, events, and temporary exhibits. On our recent visit we had the opportunity to explore and enjoy the new childrens Discovery Center. It was great and had lots of hands on activities for youngsters. I personally adore the new Mary Elizabeth Banning exhibit on Fungi. Be sure to always check out any events that may be going on at the Empire State Plaza, while visiting the museum. February/March usually hosts the Martin Luther King Jr. art and essay exhibits as well as the Lunar New Year Celebration, which is an absolute family favorite! There is now an ice skating rink open for use central to all of these amazing historical buildings. Tours of the Capitol building are available throughout the day, making for an easily full schedule of memorable experiences. Ample room in the facility parking garages or in nearby overflow lots for minimal fees. (Credit card). Food courts with a variety of eatery options, with restrooms in the concourse. Elevators, escalators, and maps, make for very easy navigation.
