Tips & Advice
- Buy general museum admission before you go, because the ornament workshop is free with general admission and has no separate ticket.
- Bring children aged 4 and up, since that is the recommended age for building the illuminated nebula ornaments.
- Head to the Greene Education Center when you arrive, because that is where the nebula ornament workshop takes place inside the museum.
- Have kids look at a few real nebula photos beforehand so they arrive with an idea for the ornament they want to build.
