Art Smart Adventures for Kids leads private family tours in museums. We offer museum tours around the world, and specialize in NYC tours and art treasure hunts in NYC museums, such as the Met Museum and the American Museum of Natural History.
New York City & kids, art & education, and children & art are great combinations!
Come with us to all the great museums — we make them fun for families!
1. Family Expeditions around a museum
Personalized adventures for the whole gang!
What a great way to explore art -- together! Our Family Expeditions are private tours designed just for individual families. Imagine your whole family exploring the museum of your choice with an inspiring and seasoned art historian as your guide. Our Family Expeditions are filled with delights and discoveries for the whole crew, from kids to grandparents and everyone in between. Everybody has fun -- and learns! -- along the way.

We’ll stuff our Art Smart Adventures backpack with fun tools for our expedition: passports with destination stickers, postcard hunting cards, and art supplies. We’ll even create a treasure hunt map that lets the children lead their way to discovery for part of our journey.

How It Works

2. Museum Adventures Just for Kids
Hours of wonder, crafted solely for children!
Your youngster will be delighted, amazed, and immersed in art and culture, in a series where art gets personal! Choose from occasional one-on-one sessions, small-group private adventures amongst friends and playdates, or private weekly classes -- or let us design something. Children receive undivided attention in an experience that can be planned around visiting art, creating it, or both – in any NYC museum that will inspire them the most! Designed for art lovers from 4 through 12. Check out our museum list, or contact us for additional information »

More about Museum Adventures for Kids
How do you get a child's attention in a Greek art gallery — especially after a long day of school and before a late-afternoon play date? Well, you can start by talking about such creatures as griffins, basilisks, or the three-headed protective dog named Cerberus. Make the connection with Fluffy, a guard dog at Hogwarts, and other Harry Potter characters. And faster than you can say Sorcerer's Stone, voilà! the children are spellbound.

Such moments are typical during an Art Smart Museum Adventure, where museum tours are anything but typical. In a city brimming with bright young children and galleries full of artistic treasures, we make it our business to bring the two together. We may use pop culture to help cast our spell, but that's just a small part of the magic in these private excursions through New York's museums». Art Smart Classes for Kids present art to children in fresh, creative ways. They spark intriguing and original questions and conversations, as children make the connections between age-old art and what's happening in their own lives.

The formula for success? Each class is customized to a small — very small — audience, which guarantees personal attention and a customized curriculum. These adventures are personalized for just one to four children ages 4 to 12. Need ideas for your expedition? Check out some of our suggestions »
