ABCirque's performers juggle, tumble and go airborne in two short shows at Brooklyn Children's Museum, and then the floor opens up so kids can try it themselves. The stations include aerial hammocks, hula hoops, juggling and a giant wheel for balance, plus photos with the performers. If your kid has been hanging off the couch all week, give them a circus to do it in.

What to expect

Each show runs about 40 minutes, followed by around 20 minutes of circus stations around the second floor. The circus stations are set up around the museum's second floor. Two performance slots are offered, one late morning and one mid-afternoon.

Good to know

  • Take the 3 train to Kingston Av or the C to Kingston–Throop
  • Pick a show slot and arrive early to get a spot on the floor
  • Circus stations follow each show, so stay after the applause
  • Best for elementary-age kids who can try the stations
  • Buy museum tickets online ahead of time
