The place is very interesting especially the activities that make you think hard. However I would not recommend staying in the exhibit area for more than an hour and half because there are not too many and it can get boring relatively quickly.

What to find how to ride a bike with square wheels? Then come to museumOf mathematics to find out how. This place has a lot of stuff to engage and interact with. This place is not that big so it can get really busy and crowded. I do find it more crowded in the morning versus after lunch. So I would suggest having an early lunch and come here after noon so it’s not that crowded. Highly recommend this place!

Loved the Math Museum!This museum would be the most suitable for children and students.I have noticed its heavy focus on geometry and physics.Easy to spend 3-4 hours if participating in each activity.Highly recommend to families with children!

This hands on math museum has found a way to continue to deliver many many programs for all ages virtually! I highly recommend you check them out, you won’t be disappointed!!!!

What a fun way to learn about Mathematics !I think there’s everything for everyone in this museum, for the kids of all ages: many activities and different areas like this painting wall (see photo below) or the bicycles with square shaped wheels ...My 3,5 years old had a lot of fun, we spent 3 hours there. Don’t forget to check out the underground floor !Ps: Oh, should I say, the location is so perfect ! Right in front of the Madison Square park /in the Flatiron Area.

Cant find a more fun and educational place to be than this museum. Bring your kids(over 6), otherwise they might have trouble understand the contents in most of the play stations. The origami section is amazing. Your kids will enjoy painting and designing their own patterns on clothes. And everyone will get a kick out of the tricycles with square wheels.

Very funny and interesting. However, you should go with kids, even tho I enjoyed my experience a lot, it’s clear this place was completely meant to be for kids. I do not regret it, but I highly advise to don’t forget your kids, I felt like fish out of the water.

A fun way to spend a few hours, the National Museum of Mathematics is filled with interactive exhibits that can inform and entertain people ages 3 to 103. Kiosks with explanations at multiple levels of understanding are paired with the exhibits.The exhibits themselves are great. Ride a tricycle with square wheels! Learn about fractals by becoming a tree, leaf, or snowflake!It can get a bit crowded on weekends and holidays, so if youre planning to visit in one of those, its strongly recommended to arrive right when they open.

Interactive education at its finest! Loads of didactic games and exhibitions which engage visitors, especially children. Spanning a wide range of science and mathematics, from optics to engineering, to chemistry to cryptography. Two floors of exhibitions, and a set-off room for the construction of models. Free coat check, and gift shop featuring lovely educational items like wooden Rubix Cube-like toys and Element maps. Tickets can and should be pre-ordered on the Museum’s website, which visitors can redeem at automated terminals in the Museum’s lobby.

The National Museum of Mathematics (MoMath) is an award-winning museum that highlights the role of mathematics in illuminating the patterns and structures all around us. Its dynamic exhibits, gallery, and programs are designed to stimulate inquiry, spark curiosity, and reveal the wonders of mathematics. The Museum’s innovative exhibits will engage folks from 105- to 5-years-old — and even younger!

Great experience with my friends, we went there as a school trip and this has been a wonderful experience to students and teachers all ages. Math is a subject that everyone needs to know and will need to know in the future when they grow up. They need to experience the world of math. This place is filled with math activities ranging from rocket basketball shooting to geometric shapes that you can put together to make something unique. The staff are extremely nice and offered to take tours around the whole place.Overall this place for me is a 10/10

Amazing. My kids love it and they loved the family event so much

This is an amazing museum to visit for kids and adults alike. The exhibits are hands on ways to experience mathematical concepts. There are puzzles, tricycles, Music machines, magnets and origami. If you have a membership at a science museum with a reciprocal agreement, admission is free!It was educational, fun and there was beautiful origami art too (special exhibit).

Overall great experience. There were lots of interactive exhibits. Went on a holiday and it was packed with kids. Some exhibits were not working. I wish they had hand sanitizer stations throughout.

Kids enjoyed it, yet some games were not working properly, personnel was not keen on helping much in games requiring some set up. Not Worthing the bucks Ill say, although with some changes could be a great place.

This is an interesting math museum with interactive math games and puzzles. Just know that is museum is really geared towards kids.

This place was awesome! My husband and I loved it and had a lot of fun there last week. Its a great place to take kids but adults can have fun there as well. It could easily be missed if you werent looking for it. But I recommend giving it a try.

Yes, this place IS for kids. But seriously, you’re bigger then them. You can easily push them away. You’re an adult after all. It’s an amazing place of wonder and exploring no matter how old you are. I highly suggest going anyways. It can be busy and call ahead if time too make sure theee is no school’s there. Unfortunately the same day I went there was like 4 school districts but still super fun! I even solved a puzzle LOL

More a limited set of interactive exhibits with a tangential relationship to mathematics in a surprisingly small space than a museum in the traditional sense of a compendium of concepts and historical facts organized logically. For children it is enjoyable though I’m not sure the connection to math is entirely evident. To me this is a cliche attempt at trying to make math “fun” by obscuring it. The Hall of Science is far better at providing a plethora of hands on exhibits and is a much better deal. I’m not saying this math museum isn’t worth a trip but holding out for the free entry days probably makes a lot of sense.

Went with my nephews from out of town. They enjoyed it but, then again, it doesn’t take too much to keep kids entertained. Was a cool museum but I felt like a lot of the exhibits—while entertaining for kids—were a stretch to apply to math or at least to math they would understand. It was also very expensive for what was offered. At a lower price, I would have less qualms.

I went here with a buddy of mine. It’s definitely kid centered. They keep the math simple and don’t really explain how the math itself works. It has lots of little interactive exhibits and a very interesting origami display area. I particularly enjoyed the tricycle exhibit with wheels of different shapes that shouldn’t be able to roll but can. Kudos to them for being the ONLY math museum in North America

An interesting, informative museum. We went with the children. Therefore, they were delighted. After all, at school they are not interested in mathematics and dullness. And here everything is bright and colorful. Generally delight!

Saw the report from the CBS Sunday Morning and decided to stop by. It was interesting and the staff was friendly and helpful. Love the pi door handles! It also has a good gift shop with a variety of fun items.I did not understand the majority of the exhibits and how the math applied to each exhibit. It would be nice to have more details to help the visitors grasp the concept.I also recommend better merchandise for adults. The materials of the T shirts are not soft and the design is not exciting.

Interesting math and physics interactive stations for all ages. Great place for young and old thinkers alike. Challenge your mind

Be prepared ... No intellectual loafers at this wonderful (literally) museum! The mathematical concepts wont be spoon-fed to you. But, if you bring your active thinking cap, the exhibits will meet you at your level. A couple of the docents took the initiative to check in with me to ensure I was having a proper experience at a couple of exhibits, and the MoMath visitor would benefit if more docents had a similar courage. The gift shop has books and puzzles, but should broaden their offerings. Overall though, an imaginative and amazing way to engage in mathematical concepts.

Kid centred place for learning and fun.I thought it was on the high end of price, with a great display of bad parenting and little to no oversight by staff.My partner, a teacher, thought it was well worth the money and would recommend to others with kids in the 8-12 range.The staff were helpful in explaining the activities. Perhaps stationing a staff member at each station would reduce the ability for poor behaviour.

Great place to learn mathematics. Knowledgable and friendly volunteers. Good place to shop stuff related to mathematics and physics. Very good place for kids having love towards maths.

Went as a college engineering student and enjoyed it! It was packed because of school break and NYC around New years but really cool overall. Lots of puzzles. Get the most out of looking at the touchscreen explanations for each demonstration. Very interactive, theres something there for all levels of math but Id say around 6th grade would be the best age.

Great learning experience. Worth visiting

I loved the museum of mathematics, is well thought and has adequate games for every age. So simple for kids to start loving maths and the more complicated for adults.My parents are mathematicians and I grew up in a house full of math and logic games to solve, I didnt really knew I was using maths while playing.This museum is great, and brought good memories back. I had so much fun

This is a quaint little museum in Manhattan that pays a lot of attention to detail. There are often many people here, especially on weekends. There are frequently school trips to this museum. The area is quite small, however, so there isnt really too much to see. Visiting this museum takes 1-2 hours on average. Keep in mind, though, that the place can get a bit crowded, increasing lines.

This is an interesting place. I highly recommend it but be prepared to spend more time than you thought if you are interested in any of the science. The explanations are on iPad type displays along the walls bear the interactive sections and are quite detailed. It goes over the head of most children and some adults. On the flip side all of the activities and interactive displays are fun for children and are functioning well. The kids were highly entertained from all ages.

I apologize my photos arent great.... I guess with a name like National Museum Of Math I expected a lot more from an adult perspective. This place is basically only for kids and is 2 levels.I thought from an adult point of view there should be visual representations of Fibonacci and many other examples like visual graphing and cool applied Dynamical system problems or even a calculus section.In addition there are only 2 levels a part of me thought there would be more I get it but its a museum of math and I expected a lot and didnt get it.Also alot of the machines werent working or were broken and I saw one tech guy trying to fix it all.Im sorry if I seem harsh.... I recommend this museum for kids... But for an adult I dont recommend it and its a little pricey. The highlight of this day here was my pi pencil.

I absolutely loved my experience at MoMath. As a math teacher, I could envision so many potential connections to curriculum with students. As a math enthusiast, I saw an immense passion for math by the curators in the form of fun, engaging activities for math lovers and non-math people alike.I would highly recommend visiting especially if you have children, but it is also a welcoming place for adults.When you leave, theres a special challenge to attempt; spoiler alert--you probably wont succeed, but you will have fun trying nonetheless!

Fun and educational. Kids and adults will love this place because youll find something to learn about. They also have family Friday which my family loves to attend to. Very interactive and staff are great and very helpful.

This is a great place for children and adults to play and get their creatives rolling. Math is the subject here and there are tons of things there to occupy you for hours. Great place to be. Highly recommended. You have to use your noodles to figure it out. But if there are many staffs there to help you if you are stuck. 5 s.

If theres a place most of us have to add in our list of places to go when you are in NYC, this is one of those, definitely. It will work for anyone even if you are barely interested in Mathematics. A lot to see in this museum, it even has a lot of scheduled events on Math.

Very nice well laid out place designed to explain the nuances of math. Lots of staff to explain the demonstrations and what you should be looking for. Went with a 10 and 12 year old and they both enjoyed it. It was fun watching some of the adults try and figure the stuff out while the kids were having no problems.

Had an amazing time. Better to go when you have time to invest in the activities. Fun for little kids, but more educational for kids over 5. Better to go when it is not crowded.

It is an interesting museum for adults and an amazing museum for children. There are diverse kind of interactive activities to explain math concepts. Also, there is an origami exposition with impressive models and designs. It is a little expensive, but it is a nice museum to visit in NYC.

I took my sisters who were visiting from FL here. At first glance, it really doesnt seem like much. Theres a lot of mathematics-driven activities that are pretty cool. I enjoyed seeing my sisters give the square-wheeled tricycles a whirl. The hands-on digital mural painting was a lot of fun as well. The greatest surprise is that there is the BASEMENT level that hides the really good stuff. Theres a motion-sensor maze on the floor that you try to get blocks to their designated color slots. Theres a ton of mind teaser puzzles to really give your noggin a work out. The wall of magnets is really fun too! It has magnet pieces that fit together regardless of the color. Its just a really cool place. Im not a big math person and while I didnt take in all the mathematics behind the fun. I can definitely appreciate it.

Good for all ages. Very interactive and informative shows. You can spend full day to play and experience everything. I gave 4 stars because space is confined.

Great place for kids !!! Lots of learn through games experience for them. It was very crowded with lots of school groups . The only trouble we faced were there was no family room [Had a baby who needed to be fed ] . A place which is mainly focused for kids should have atleast one family room since many mothers would be visiting with young children/babies.

Time and money well spent. You should plan on spending a good 3 hours just as an introduction then immerse the kids several times to help the info stick.

A small Mathematical museum full of physics, technology and geometry in an environment the engineering and mathmatical brain adores. It was awesome says my 9 year old boy who loves math. It took 2 hours and I would suggest trying to go right at opening because dieing summer break this place filled up quickly. It is 2 floors of experiments, hands on problem solving and many mathematical solutions.

While expensive, its still an amazing hands on museum for the family. Museums like this and science museums are a must for rainy days. Convenient location next to so many subways, this is a great museum. Its more science than mathematics which is why I think so many people will love it (I first imagined it was just math problems like going to a tutor haha).Weve been here several times because we live close by and we will be back.

Plenty of fascinating interactive displays. Directions for how to interact with each site are limited which can be frustrating. Staff were present and helpful if approached but it felt like the facility needed better visual cues.

Great museum to learn math and physics for kids. Plenty of games to play and learn from. Gift shop has some good collection of mathematics books and games.

Good visit for young kids for a few hours. Lots of interactive exhibits they enjoy.

It was very cool but it would be nice if there was descriptions of the exhibits.

This was fun with our children aged 7&9. We were there during the US school term so there were school groups visiting. This was a little intimidating when there was a sudden deluge of older kids descending on you! Also think there needs to be a lot more explanation rather than focusing on just having fun. The activities are more amazing when you understand why they work, and where there were staff in hand to explain, the activity was so much better.

Wow this museum turned out to be super fun. Even I got caught up playing and trying to solve puzzles. I might have found a reason to enjoy math here in the National Museum of Mathematics.My son and Ioved activities. I would recommend this to all parents.

A delight to the senses and intellect, engaging children in those subjects which they usually avoid in their homework! Hands-on learning at its finest. Wonderful curation! Tickets purchased on-line and last up to six months.

Its an amazing place. Adults will enjoy it more than kids, but its design ed for both. Adults will enjoy the games in different levels.If you have even a little bit of a need in you, you have to go and spend some time inside, you wont regret it at all.

Instructions are not clear. There are only 4 fun activity but none of them stood out. You learn nothing. If this is for anyone it is probably for your kids but they will get bored after 10 minutes. Not worth the trip. A bit expensive. I would not recommend this place.

My kids enjoyed the museum... After the school crowds were gone. I would highly suggest going after lunch. The day we went it was completely overrun by school groups. There were way too many kids and we could not enjoy any of the exhibits while they were there. However once they left we were able to interact with the exhibits and really get a lot out of them. When I spoke to the staff they said they hadnt anticipated that many school groups coming in at the same time. For the size of the museum, which is not that big they really shouldnt allow more than one school group at any given time, its unfair to the regular admission patrons and doesnt allow for interaction with the different exhibits.

This is a great place to take kids ages 6+ . This is a fun and interactive museum. The kids wont even realize this is supposed to be educational. We had a wonderful time! Definitely recommend!

They had two floors of activities, it was a very entertaining place for adult and children. I personally didnt learn anything with math, than again, I did learn other interesting information and did many hands-on activities. Worth a look.

So much to learn, see, and do here at MoMath. This small space is jam packed with more to take in than can be done in a single day. The learning and fun can scale for any age, too. The hands-on, interactive exhibits are so engaging and theres fun for everyone from toddlers to math PhDs! Its a neat and different way to send the day if youre a tourist, but Id recommend locals buy a membership and stop by regularly for the guest lectures and changing activities.

We came here expecting an exhibit-style museum. In fact, this was an incredibly interactive place full of puzzles, ciphers, and odd geometrically shaped toys to be played with. We ended up spending two hours in here before looking at the clock! This is a great place for kids, but an even better place for adults who miss being kids. My favorite part was the authentic Navy M-209 cipher that you could sit down and encrypt/decrypt your own messages with. I highly recommend this place to anyone. At the time of our visit, admission was $18 for adults, and $12 for children, students, and seniors. There are only two relatively small floors, but you could spend an entire day in there. It wasn’t too crowded, and there is a puzzle or game for everyone in there.

Every concept is fun and educational but the emphasis got lost on fun. The literature was very discreet and hard to get to especially for kids.Also several activities were not working which made a small place feel even smaller. We were done on 2 hrs which did not justify the cost for every fee.Other than that its the best museum with several engaging educational activities. I guess if a kid really wants to learn, hell have a blast. But its too congested and chaotic to truly enjoy the place.Other than a very welcoming person at the entry, no one was really able to handle help the kids much.Overall, I wouldnt plan the day around this museum. It should be just something you visit if youre in the neighborhood with an extra 2 hrs to kill.

VERY CLEAN bathrooms, men and women’s restroom changing station.Couple downstairs exhibits were hard to figure out and would have benefitted from someone there to run like the robots.For those with Vertigo or motion sickness downstairs was challenging in a couple spots.In general, great hands on activities and a Sunday afternoon was pretty empty with the ability to have lots of time on any exhibit you wanted without a wait!

A great place to explore math. So many activities for the children to enjoy.

Very engaging museum and knowledgeable staff. Every exhibit is a playful explanation of a specific math topic. Great attention to detail. Thank you for having us.

Visited when Origami artist friend made a presentation. Lots of fun for math fans of all ages. Love my math calendar for 2020 where the answer to the question of the day is usually the numeral of date!

The museum is pretty fun with interactive exhibits, some of which require critical thinking which is nice. You definitely wont see some of this stuff anywhere else. Its a great place to go have some fun and get out of the heat (or cold). Recommend coming here if you live nearby! If youre a tourist, itll still be a good experience to come if time allows.

This is a very interesting place to visit in NYC. Kids do love it. Plenty of cool math games that can be very interesting if only... We went there around Christmas and the museum was packed with kids. Now all these cool math games require a bit of reading to figure out how to play and solve but this is literally impossible when kids are just running around pulling levers and stuff while their parents just watch. It was very chaotic and the few staff members looked tired and fed up. So if you want to enjoy it with your kids definitely visit on a day when the place is not packed. If this is possible for NYC.

So much fun for nerds like me! The exhibits bring math to life and the people are knowledgeable and friendly.

Really cool place but half the guides werent very helpful in offering help or information about the displays / exhibits.

It is really fun, but could be better if it had a little more activities. It is good if you are only going to be there for around a half hour or so.

Not everything is functional, but everything is intended for kids to play with, so some breakage is expected.

Interesting museum on the flatiron area. Not much to do as an adult, but the kids looked liked they were having fun. Mostly for elementary school.

Great place to visit while in N.YNot only for maths lovers.Kids are welcome as wellRiddles, hands-on exhibits and a shop to buy science-gepard souvenirs.

I liked the exhibits but most of the staff nearby where either on their phones or completely disengaged. I wish they wouldve been more hands on to explain or interact with the public

This museum is really fun. Impossible not to have a good time with some many good things to play, regardless if you are a child or a grown up. The price is 18usd for adults.

Awesome puzzles and games, although it is almost always crowded.

Overall: fun experience for kids and the inquisitive adult, with a great gift shop for all ages and knowledge levels.Cons: stairs may be difficult for some guests (lifts available); very interactive so may not be for everyone; info points lack intuitive UX; busy with school groups in the morning.Pros: staff are friendly and knowledgeable, Geneo was very courteous and welcoming; everything is spectacularly designed to engage mathematical thought, even the bathroom sinks; great gift shop; the square bike!

It was a lot of fun. Although there were a lot of children, there were also many fun activities and puzzles for an older audience.

Great place for the family, you should really try to spend at least 2+ hours here to fully read / experience everything!

Definitely can be done in one day. Two floors with very hands on, engaging exhibits. Dont know that I learned any math, but my 3.5 year old loved it. I just wish all of the exhibits operated well. A few in the basement are glitchy.

Such a FABULOUS place for people of all ages! I had a BALL.

Such a great museum, with beautiful interactive exhibits, and the best gift shop (if youre looking for a fun, creative, standout gift to bring back home!)

The museum is small but has two floors with very interesting stuff. You dont have to be a math lover to enjoy the exhibitions. While some of them are more children oriented, many are very enjoyable as a common human. My favorite is the stroboscopic light sculptures that create an optical illusion of movement.

This museum really helps visualize mathematics. It is breathtaking how much learning you get from experiencing mathematics. The staff is extremely friendly, willing to help, and educated. The staff explains so well and answer all technical questions very clearly. I have a passion for Mathematics; it really warmed my heart to experience this unique and remarkable museum!

Great place to bring your kids and teens. The museum consist of two floors. Each floor is quite small and packed with a lot of interactive activities. Perfect opportunity for kids to explore and be hands on with math. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. In the museum, there are no food and drinks allow.

There is a lot more to do than what you might think! I took my niece whos favorite subject is math (Im a math teacher so this warms my heart) and I originally expected to spend an hour or so there. We were there for 3 hours and probably could have stayed longer if we werent hungry lol. You have the option of leaving the museum and coming back which is nice if you want to spend all day at the museum. There are tons of fun puzzles and activities to work on. The museum is good for math nerds like me, but someone who just appreciates puzzles (which in itself is math :) ) would have a good time as well!

it was okay but there isnt much to do there. its geared more towards a younger audience

Fun museum. Better for kids 5 and up but my 3 year old enjoyed some of the exhibits too.

I loved it! Everything was hands on and great for everyone of all ages.

It’s was ok . I expect it to be kid friendly but some of the employees rather you play quietly. Every time my daughter shot the basketball in the air launcher an employee kept on walking to us not to see if everything was ok or even to assist us. I felt like we was being followed everywhere especially in the gift shop. Very uncomfortable.

School trip, has some fun

We loved the concept but were disappointed with the quality of exhibits and information provided. The museum was not very informative- mesning, it took forever to understand what where they trying to convey with each exhibit- unless you are able to ask one of the staff members for an explanation, it is pretty difficult to self guide yourself through the exhibits. We also had to stand in line for almost every exhibit. Didnt feel like it was very educational. Would rather spend my time going to a different STEM museum in NYC.

My grandson looked it here will go again and telling other about it we enjoyed the mo museum

As a math student, I loved going here, but the non-student price is way too high for how small of a museum it is. Even at the student price, I probably wouldnt go more than 2 or 3 times. I think my biggest complaint though is that its so focused on convincing kids that math doesnt have to suck (which admittedly is very needed in our culture), that they kind of gloss over the college student demographic. In a city with so many universities and colleges, I feel like theyre missing a big opportunity to appeal to another demographic.That being said, I felt like a kid in a candy store while I was here. One look at the square wheel bicycle in the middle of the main floor had me hooked. The best thing that they offer is the downstairs area, which is loaded with puzzles and games. The top floor almost resembles an art museum with all the art created from math. As such, it was cool to look at for a bit, but got boring pretty fastIm not sure what to say about the crowds. When we arrived it was packed with like 3 schools on field trip, but once they left, it was practically just usPros:Lots of puzzles and gamesCool things to look atGreat for kidsCons:ExpensiveVery smallMaybe a bit too focused on kids

The place isnt huge, but its captivating. Loved by kids of all ages.

Some cool puzzles and technology. Great gift shop selection. Definitely for kids.

Im not really into mathematics and didnt know what to expect. The museum turned out to be a fun place with lots of hands on activities. Fun for the entire family.

Fun place with nice games and a bit of mathematical background on them. Easily enjoyable by non-mathematical folks.

Kids had a blast. Student helpers were great.

The museum is well done, but gets crowded and it is hard to do the activities when there are so many kids. It is also definitely a childrens museum. An adult would enjoy it, but it is first and foremost tailored to children. The staff was polite but they are mostly there to make sure you are using the equipment correctly rather than explain the maths behind the exposition.I went in summer and the place was swarmed by summer schools, which made everything a but complicated as I had to navigate a sea of children that all wanted to do everything and assumed you were a boring adult that was cool with watching from the sidelines, even if you had been waiting for a while for your time to enjoy the activities.All in all, take you kids (under 8-12 would enjoy it the most) and they will love it. As an adult looking for a mathematical museum, it might not be the best option.
