If you're coming to New York City with your children, you might not initially think of The MoMA as a great family-friendly attraction, but you might be missing out on a great museum to visit with your kids. Admission to the MoMA is always free for visitors under 16 (except in groups) and the Museum has put together fantastic resources for families. In addition, on Saturday and Sunday mornings, the Museum offers special programs for children from four to fourteen that include free admission for their parents. Tickets to Tours for Fours and A Closer Look for Kids (for kids 5-10) are available on the same day as the tour on a first-come, first-served basis. Tours for Tweens require pre-registration and are often wait-listed.
