Description

BCM and The Culture Tree invite families to celebrate Diwali during Amazon Free Hours! Join us to hear the story of Diwali brought to life through a puppet show, presented by The Culture Tree. This famous story teaches children the meaning of devotion, love, kindness, and valor—all while learning why we celebrate Diwali!

Other activities include a mithai (Indian sweets) making workshop, and diya paper lantern-making in our ColorLab art studio. Through these activities, children will learn about Diwali, one of India’s biggest and most important festivals of the year. 


Join us during Amazon Free Hours, every Thursday afternoon from 2 pm–5 pm!

Explore some of our most-loved exhibits, including toddler-favorite Totally Tots, the miniature shops of World Brooklyn, our rooftop kids’ climber, and more. Then check out ColorLab, our family art studio located on the 2nd floor of the Museum, where artists of all ages can explore, make, and celebrate art.

We recommend reserving your tickets in advance online. Walk-ins are always welcome.
