During Climate Week NYC, join us for ClimateFest, a full-day celebration of science, sustainability, and community! This all-ages event brings the science of climate change and its impact on human health to life through hands-on activities, pop-up presentations, and live demonstrations across the Museum.  

On your visit, you will be able to: 

  • Explore the Museum’s Climate Learning Lab, designed for ages 8 and up, to find out more about climate, climate change, and what we can do to address our warming planet. (11 am–5 pm)
  • Experience The Garden, an immersive, sensory-friendly outdoor theater performance for children ages five and under and their caregivers.  
  • Learn all about the incredible box turtle—where we find them, why they matter, and more. 

Stay tuned for more exciting program details! 

ClimateFest is part of the Milstein Discovery Series and is proudly supported by the Paul & Irma Milstein Foundation.

A portion of this program is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
