Kids Club THIRTEEN: Visit NYC's Top Family Attractions and Meet Your Favorite PBS Kids Characters
We've been highlighting Kids Club THIRTEEN events in our weekend posts for a while now. We partnered with the club because its goal is much like Mommy Poppins': To create lasting memories and a sense of community. For $75 (which goes to support THIRTEEN's quality programming), families can attend 13 exclusive events at cool cultural institutions like the Brooklyn Children's Museum, the Swedish Cottage Marionette Theater and the DiMenna Children's History Museum, where they'll meet beloved PBS Kids characters in person, and participate in enriching and entertaining events throughout the tri-state area.
I attended a Kids Club THIRTEEN event with my daughter at the South Street Seaport Museum a few years ago, and she still talks about meeting Curious George and the way the ship swayed on the water as we took a tour of a historic vessel. Read on to find out more about the benefits of joining Kids Club THIRTEEN, plus details on how to save 51% on an annual membership.

Even at full price, Kids Club THIRTEEN is an awesome deal. Your annual membership starts from the date you join, and covers up to two adults and three children. Throughout the year, members enjoy discounts to museums, gardens, zoos and theater, are eligible for special giveaways and your kid even gets an on-air "Happy Birthday" wish on the big day.
Of course the main attractions are the 13 member events. In addition to getting free entry to popular destinations, families enjoy craft projects, special tours and activities, and meet-and-greets with PBS Kids characters. Upcoming events include:
Circles of Love at the Brooklyn Children’s Museum
