"Fun with the Family"

Founded in 1904 and housing a collection of more than 27,000 works of art, artifacts, and objects, this is one of the most important archives of Jewish cultural history in the world. At the Family Activity Center, children can create holiday or historical arts and crafts projects or go on treasure hunts, and performances and workshops are offered year-round.
Inspired by the Museum's collection, the new Archaelogy Zone encourages children to discover the world of archaeology through a fascinating in-depth study of art and artifacts from ancient times to the present day.

"Jewish Museum"

This museum is great for teaching your kids all about the history of the holocaust.  Definitely a place for older kids.  There are life lessons to be learned walking through the halls and different exhibits.  I remember going here after it opened as a high school student.

"Jewish museum"

Tidy museum that focuses on the Jewish heritage and culture.  Smaller than the Met and American Musuem of Natural History, but still a quality entry on "Museum Mile."
