There’s nothing worse than bored kids on a break. Been back and forth a few times now and can recommend –
Children’s Museum Of Manhattan – loads of things to do for young kids. When we went our children loved the Dora The Explorer exhibition.
Chelsea Piers – large sports complex with Ice Rink, Bowling Alley etc. Plenty to offer for all of the family.
Central Park Zoo – Always a good place to keep the kids quiet for a couple of hours – only $3 for under 12’s.
