This is a cute little establishment located in an absolutely gorgeous Park in Huntington. It consisted of about four rooms of art and was something that you could do in 45 minutes to an hour easily. Some of the art was very beautiful and some little strange but hey that's art. It was open and bright and a nice little thing to do. It wasn't really a children's museum but they did have some activities for kids and I would consider taking your children there if they are learning about anything to do with some of the pieces. Right now there is a whole room full of Asian influences art which I might take my children to when we discuss the continent of Asia. The surrounding Park is so nice. Parking is a hassle but I would assume that it would be much easier on a weekday. All in all worth the trip.

To visit the Heckscher its highly recommended to place a reservation ahead of time online. The museum, even though it's small in size, is full of art with two exhibitions running simultaneously. When I visited, I saw the Moonstruck and Global Asias exhibit. The staff are friendly and the environment is very calm and quiet. Not many people are in the museum during the days, so it's pretty much empty (unless there's an event happening). I loved the collection of artwork the curators put together. It was such an immersing and educating exhibit.

A small art museum but has enough inspiring and attractive art works! It's very well organized during this pandemic. We visited the exhibition of Long Island high school students! A lot of surprise, how creative the youngsters are! It's family friendly even for small kids, since it's relatively small. What's more, the museum is surrounded by a beautiful, cozy park, best for children!!

It is a great museum. Currently admission is $2! Who can beat that. Art from American artists currently on display like Norman Rockwell. The park is a nice afternoon walk. Close to shops and great restaurants. Staff are all very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Oh and if you have little ones, don't forget to try the digital painter. Fun!

Museum is located in the the park, free to visit. It is small but there's some cool drawings/paintings. Staff is friendly and ready to answer any questions you may have. They have a donation box as you exit however there's no pressure to do so. Overall cool little museum worth checking out if you're visiting the park or the town.
