Kids Activities in NYC

If your child or children don't mind the loud music, you can go have Kiddie Cruise. It is a boat ride along the New York City harbor. There are three floors in the boat with simultaneous activities. There are face painting, puppet show, arts and crafts, magician, etc. There was just a long line for the balloon animals for kids. Some kids lined up more than twice. It is supposed to be a Princess and Pirate Family adventure so your child or children can come dressed up as pirate or princess.

Mommy and Me play dates are also fun. Check out Mommy and Me Groups in your area through MeetUp.

During the week you can take advantages of free programs offered by your library. My daughter enjoys Toddler story time and Arts and Crafts offered by the library for FREE. Check out Kids Events by the Queens Library if you live in Queens. If you drive, you can bring your child to different library programs for children near you. Listening to someone read a story other than his/her parents, not getting distracted by other kids and just focusing the on the story, sharing crayons and other materials with other children during arts and crafts are good training before he/she goes to preschool.
