If you and your family love movies and you’ve always been curious about how they get from original idea to the big screen, stop by the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, NY. Focusing on how movies are made, marketed, and shown, this museum is filled with costumes, props, and technical gadgets. There are also interactive exhibits where you can try editing sound effects and create animated shorts. Included in the admission price are different film screenings every weekend as well as fascinating demos of film editing, sound editing, animation, and creating video games. On weekends at 2:30pm, the Motion Workshop allows your kids to make a Thaumatrope - a 19th century optical toy - and learn what makes moving images “move.”
