I would say it depends on the 5 year old. The day I was there, I saw several field trip groups that looked to be 5-6 years old. If your 5 year old is like my grandson-rambunctious and active- I wouldn’t take that type of personality. (I did not take my grand.) However, some 5 year olds are more serious and inquisitive, and they may appreciate the library. There is a large area related to 9/11, so I would say you need to be prepared for some discussion with children.
