🦀 East River Life Up Close
Inside Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Environmental Education Center at 99 Plymouth Street opens as a free drop-in space with educators on hand. Children can study water samples under microscopes, handle shells and rocks, and slide open under-table drawers packed with activities at their own pace. An aquarium holds East River marine life, and explorer kits are available to borrow for the park. A ten-foot scale model of the park, monthly themes and a reading corner fill the room, framed by views of the Manhattan skyline and the Brooklyn Bridge. Hours run 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM Thursday and Friday, and 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM on weekends.
