Jewish Children's Museum

The Jewish Children's Museum in Crown Heights is a multi-floor building featuring exhibits about Jewish traditions and interactive displays designed for young visitors. The space includes multimedia presentations and learning areas focused on teaching through hands-on exploration.

The museum was established in 2004 as a response to community needs and in memory of Ari Halberstam. This founding marked a turning point in Crown Heights as a center for Jewish education and community engagement.

The museum celebrates Jewish customs and holidays through hands-on stations where children explore traditions firsthand. Visitors can touch objects, try on clothes, and discover stories about Jewish daily life and celebrations.

The building is located on Eastern Parkway and offers visitors a kosher café on site. Plan your visit during the week when more activities and programs are typically available.

The rooftop features a mini-golf course where each hole represents different life stages in Jewish tradition. This unexpected addition blends recreation with learning in a creative way.
