Family Friendly Places in NYC

If you have children you probably looking for places where to take them during the weekend. Exposing kids to different experiences build their language skills and improve their knowledge of the world. Children's Museum are a good way to start. There is Brooklyn's Children's Museum in 145 Brooklyn Avenue, Brooklyn New York. They have Totally Tots exhibit for children 5 and under.

The Children's Museum of Manhattan in the Tisch Building, 212 West 83rd Street, New York, New York offers cool exhibits like Adventure with Dora and Diego.

The NY Hall of Science in 47-01 111th Street, Queens, NY is a nice family friendly weekend destination if you live in New York City.  Your kids will enjoy it whether it rain or shine. My toddler really enjoy it every time we go there.

Another great family weekend destination is the NYAquarium in Surf Avenue & West Street in Brooklyn, New York. The sea lion show in the aqua theater is a joy to watch. The dolphins' antics are also amusing. It is nice to see so many kinds of fishes.

Take advantage of the zoo around you. You can bring your children to the Bronx Zoo in 2300 Southern Boulevard, Bronx, New York  if they don't mind a lot of walking. The Central Park Zoo located in 64th Street and Fifth Avenue, New York is also a great weekend family destination. It is fascinating to watch the polar bear swim.

Another family friendly destination are the beaches. New York City has lots of beaches like Coney Island Beach and Boardwalk in Corbin Pl. to W.37 St., Boardwalk. If you prefer less crowd, you and your family can go to Manhattan Beach in Oriental Blvd. between Ocean Ave. and Mackenzie St. It has playground on both ends. You have to pay $20 for parking during the weekend and holidays.

Libraries always have a lot to offer children. The Queens Library have program for children usually during week days  that your child will enjoy. My daughter enjoys Toddler story time and Arts and Crafts offered by the library for FREE. Check out Kids Events.
