Family Program | Design Around Town

In celebration of NYCxDesign, join us to play some rounds of Cooper Hewitt’s Design Around Town, an exclusive-to-Cooper Hewitt board game! Invite your family members to come up with creative solutions to design challenges at an ice cream shop, a school, a stadium, and more. 

Family drop-in activities are designed for youth ages 5–12 and their adult guardian/caregivers. Family programs are included in the price of museum admission, and youth 18 and under are always free. 

Explore the exhibition Making Home—Smithsonian Design Triennial with our Kids Gallery Guide available on site.
