The Crystal Winter snow globe

Try transporting your kids into a crystal winter snow globe or racing with them down a tobaggon hill (safely!) this week and weekend.  Yes, it’s possible at the ultracool exhibit “Crystal Winter” at the New York Hall of Science.  We went to the Crystal Winter show last year and loved the special winter exhibits and the incredibly attentive staff on hand. Our readers have a special deal for the exhibit- kids are free with paid adult.  Just click on the ad banner at the top of the site to get the exclusive price.
