For all those winter, rainy and vacation days, here are NYC鈥檚 suburbs鈥� most popular museums in Westchester, Long Island, Connecticut and New Jersey.

Home to Westchester鈥檚 only planetarium, the Hudson River Museum is a fun option for families who need an indoor retreat on a bad weather day, but especially during school breaks as they have their popular SOSI (鈥渟chool鈥檚 out, stars are in鈥�) program.
