Discover the fun side of math at MoMath, Manhattan's interactive playground featuring hands-on exhibits that make numbers a delightful adventure for all ages.
"Take an interesting peak into the glory you might not have know Math to have. See the beauty in pattern and structure in everything that you engage with. Very family friendly." - Visualized
"Even if you hated math in school, a trip to MoMath is the formula for a good time. This museum is targeted towards kids age 9-13, but the fun is great for all ages. MoMath has two stories filled with geometric and pattern games, 3-D printing modules and so much more. Now if only trigonometry class was this fun..." - Laundry Service
"Inaugurated in 2012 after the Long Island Goudreau Museum of Mathematics closed, the MoMath is a one-of-a-kind museum dedicated to a subject often discussed but rarely “seen:” Math. A playground for both the young and the less young, the MoMath is a place curated to satisfy both sides of your brain. Conceived as a two-story-tall tech fair, the MoMath might open your eyes to how mathematics underpin so much of our daily life, from the shapes of nature to architecture, technology and art. But the museum doesn’t try to bog visitors down under deep layers of complex formulas and algebraic nightmares. Instead, the objective is to give people a sensory experience of what mathematical abstractions look and behave like in real life, presenting concepts of rational interaction to the extreme limits of intuitive delight and visual wonder. Bicycles with square wheels, sculptures of light and sound reacting to your touch, and other exhibits that would make Dr. Who’s droids seriously jealous await patrons at every turn. An immersive video set that will turn your slightest movements into dynamic fractal fun, and other tricks of perception await and also educate the curious. So if you want to spend a memorable afternoon in a never-ending realm of numeric functions, enhance your Rubik’s cube solving abilities, or just fool around with lasers and calculating machines, don’t waste time (Math doesn’t like it)! Go to MoMath, where the densely rational becomes fun." - ATLAS_OBSCURA

"While the name might invoke childhood memories of fear and loathing for the subject, this super interactive museum might inspire an affection for math. It revolves around hands-on rides and activities that employ mathematical concepts to function—a tricycle with square wheels that rolls across a track, a chair that drifts across a pool of acorn shapes—meaning that a few hours spent here will be both fun and insightful.
