The Jewish Museum has a host of programs geared toward families, including a permanent children's exhibit, weekend programs, weekday workshops, and concerts. They also print family guides for many of the exhibits to help keep the kids interested while you soak up a bit of culture. The museum's permanent exhibit is also worth a visit. Have the kids point out all of the things they recognize menorahs, Shabbat candlesticks, and tzedakah boxes. They'll feel like smart cookies, and it might even give you a chance to look at a few things yourself
