Do a Downward Dinosaur – with Dino Yoga at Brooklyn Children’s Museum

Jurassic Mini-Golf returns for final weeks, too, through October 1

Brooklyn Children’s Museum invites children and their caregivers to experience some Jurassic stretches at three new Dinosaur Yoga classes this September – with a backdrop of the Museum’s 9-hole miniature golf course featuring the prehistoric monsters.

Join Danielle Medina, creator of Fit N Play Mama LLC, for a playful Dinosaur Yoga-themed journey in the Museum’s outdoor rooftop space. In this special class, participants will move and stretch their bodies in all kinds of dinosaur ways. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to participate alongside their children and create meaningful memories while learning fun facts.

The three sessions take place on Saturdays, September 16, 23 and 30, from 11:00 to 11:30 AM. Reserve your spot at https://www.brooklynkids.org/events/dinosaur-yoga/

“My intention is that each person will leave my class with an energized body, calm mind, and a smile on their face,” said Danielle Medina, Founder of Fit N Play Mama LLC. “The more playfulness we incorporate into our lives, the more we thrive together!”

To mark the reopening of BCM after its annual September Closure, Jurassic Mini-Golf returns this September 16 through October 1, pairing the classic family pastime with the sights and sounds of large, animatronic dinosaurs—to the delight of dino-loving kids.

Jurassic Mini-Golf is open during the Museum’s regular hours, 10:00 am–5:00 pm, Wednesday through Sunday (the Museum is closed Mondays and Tuesdays). Entry is granted on a first come, first served basis, and are staggered to allow sufficient space for golfers. The final tee time will be at 4:30 pm.
