Brooklyn Children's Food Festival

Forget the chicken fingers. The Brooklyn Children's Museum's annual Children's Food Festival turns curious eaters into pint-sized gourmands on Saturday, July 25. Kids can meet local farmers, learn how food gets from the ground to the plate, try hands-on cooking and art activities, and even discover the magic of composting. It's equal parts science lesson, cultural celebration and a delicious excuse to get your children excited about something green besides slime.
