The children’s museum at the Museum of History is extraordinary. Kids can load up a barge, ride a camel in Egypt, build a home out of bricks, catch a bus ride in Turkey, or take part in an impromptu play. The best time to visit the museum is during the witching hour: from 3 to 6. Reduced crowds and endless fun.
