For one of the most scenic views in the city, head over to the Empire State building. It is open every day of the year from 8 am to 2 pm, which gives you lots of time to fit it into your busy New York days. If you are traveling with young kids, it is best to visit in the morning as the lines do get longer as the day goes on. Also a perk, kids under 6 get in to the Empire State Building for free! Try to plan your Empire State Visit for a day when the weather looks clear. You will be able to see a lot more and get the most out of your experience.
Tour NYC’s Many Playgrounds
It may seem unlikely, but NYC is full of playgrounds! Use our map of NYC playgrounds to help plan out your play time stops as you navigate around the city. Washington Square Park may be one of the best playground stops, because parents can also enjoy the live music and street performers that pop up in the area.
