Since having kids, your days of strolling through Chelsea art galleries may be temporarily on hold. But that doesn’t mean you can’t still experience cutting-edge and contemporary art with your kids. Dotted along the High Line, right above all those art galleries, you’ll find a ton of public outdoor art that’s fun, free and forward-looking like the clever Sheep Station, a gas station turned faux sheep grazing pasture. And because this outdoor kid-friendly Chelsea art tour is like an open-air gallery, you and the kids will be outside and you won’t have to shush them once.

Mommy Was Here

The Art: Under the High Line in one of those construction walkways, an anonymous mommy scrawled this with chalk (probably sidewalk chalk). Mommy was here, and you will be too if you want to see some amazing public art.

Fun for Kids: Was Mommy really here?

See It: Western side of 10th Avenue between West 29th and West 30th Streets. Now until the scaffolding comes down.
