Don't want to brave the crowds at the St. Patrick’s Day Parade? You can still have a festive and family-friendly celebration at the Children's Museum of Manhattan, which will play host to St. Paddy's-themed programming all weekend long ahead of the holiday.
On Saturday, March 15 and Sunday, March 16, celebrate Irish culture by exploring the native plants that gave the Emerald Isle its signature green lushness, creating your own coffee-filter blooms inspired by the shamrock, taking part in an Irish stepdance demonstration with McManus Irish Dance, learning words in the Irish language and more.
