Our Science Lab has a secret; it&#39;s the home to Manhattan Youth&#39;s Animals! In Animal Hour, kids can see, hold, feed and learn about our resident turtle, fish and bearded dragons with our staff.

Manhattan Youth is proud to host Songs for Seeds, a rockin' music program that encourages children, newborn to 5 years to sing, dance and play along with a live, three piece band.

Family Swim hours are offered every day at the Center. Have fun with family, meet new friends, and reinforce swim skills. See our schedule for current Member hours.

These drop-in, Members-Only classes are great for Adults who have fears of the water, are new to swimming, or want to learn proper strokes and breathing enabling them to swim for longer distances. Our swim instructors for these classes are trained specifically to teach adults beginner and intermediate swimming skills. These classes take place at the same time in the pool, but we offer two groups each week based on skill level so we can be sure to offer the most appropriate level of instruction for each individual.
