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.

The Hecksher was an unexpected surprise, on a rather dreary, rainy day. Definitely going back.
