Weekday Event Picks for NYC Kids: Free Day at the Math Museum, Winter Carnival, Interactive Music Shows January 26-30

1/25/15 - By Stephanie Ogozalek

Yes a blizzard is coming, but you can't spend the whole weekend holed up indoors (although that may be a good idea on Monday or Tuesday if possible). The last week of January brings mostly FREE and fun activities for all ages, from interactive music classes for tots to no-cost admission at the the Museum of Mathematics to a complimentary Winter Carnival at Bryant Park.

Although we only highlight one event per day in this post, you can find plenty of other options in our Event Calendar and Winter Fun Guide.
