How Does Moomah Work?

There are so many ways to enjoy your visit to Moomah, whether you stop in for a quick latte to-go or stay for an entire afternoon of crafts. And with our cafe, Funky Forest and art space all housed under the same roof, you have the freedom to relax and enjoy our offerings at your own pace.

CAFE

Start your day with one of our award-winning espresso drinks, stay for our wide selection of healthy adult and kid-friendly meals and snacks or chill out after a long day with a glass of wine or a cup of organic Three Twins ice cream.

DO-IT-TOGETHER ART PROJECTS

Drop in during open DIT hours and pick out a project kit from our display. Projects range from $15 - $35 and vary in age level from 18 months and up. From collages and painting kits to shadowboxes and jewelry making, there’s something for every artist in your family. We’ll set you up at our arts and crafts tables with all the materials you need to make your masterpiece! Projects can take anywhere from fifteen minutes to an hour, depending how detailed you and your youngster decide to go. Our projects change with the seasons.

FUNKY FOREST

Between classes, we dim the lights and transform our classroom into the interactive world of the projected Funky Forest. Stand against the wall and watch as a virtual tree grows behind you. Keep the forest healthy by using the log-shaped pillows or your hands and feet to push the river water towards your trees. The Funky Forest is a perfect environment for your older child to work off some energy or for you and baby to relax. Entrance to the Funky Forest is complimentary with any Moomah purchase. Click here to learn more about the Funky Forest.

A Letter from Tracey

Everyday I receive countless emails, flyers and the like devoted to nothing but things for kids to do in New York City. I have been to the cat circus, a bubble extravaganza, a number of “favorite tv character” come to life revues and anything within a ten mile radius that you can put a li’l in front of. All well intentioned, some entertaining, a few just plain out there. I realized that all this activity was a search to connect with my kids and maybe that was simpler than I realized. Our best moments always seemed borne of slowing down, of interaction, of noticing them.

Moomah was created to give parents, children and caregivers an inviting space to nurture creative stimulation, not over-stimulation. The color palette was inspired by nature and the seasons. You won’t find wacky clowns with oversized eyes and primary colors and you won’t be forced to listen to “kids music.” Moomah is a space where both parents and kids can bond over a great song, a fun project or new treat. A place where you can just be together. 

We offer a fantastic menu of locally sourced and organic foods to delight kid and adult palettes alike. Our Do-It-Together Art Area is always available so you don't need to plan ahead. Our library offers well selected books for all ages. We have adult and kids craft kits that can be enjoyed with a snack or taken to-go for a cozy day at home. Indeed everything we do is designed to bring you and your child closer together, foster conversation, reflection, sharing and careful attention. Our hopes are that years from now, you will cherish this intimate moment.

Warmly,
