Travel Itinerary

Spend the morning with towering T. rex skeletons, the new Titanosaur, and the hands-on Discovery Room where kids dig for fossils.

Grab sleds at Pilgrim Hill, visit the sea lions and penguins in the small but delightful Central Park Zoo, then warm up with hot cocoa.

Walk the elevated park’s winter gardens, peek through viewing windows, and end at Chelsea Market for artisanal doughnuts and churros.

Head to Crown Heights for the world’s first kids’ museum—climb a giant maze, shop in a pretend grocery, and splash in water tables.

Rent skates (or bumper cars on ice) beside a frozen lake, then warm up indoors with cocoa and ride the historic 1912 carousel.

Shoot 102 floors up for panoramic views, interactive sky-portal floors, and a perfect family selfie with the Statue of Liberty at dusk.

Explore the aircraft-carrier deck, climb into a space shuttle replica, and tour the submarine Growler—hands-on history that wows every age.

Ice-bumper cars, free skate rentals for kids, a kids-only curling lane, and dozens of kiosks selling mini-donuts and hot chocolate.

Hands-on Switch demo stations, life-size Pokémon, and exclusive merch make this a gamer-kid paradise just steps from Rockefeller Center.

Morning ferry ride with skyline views; explore the new kids’ audio tour and climb the pedestal for unforgettable family photos.

Stamp mock passports, trace ancestors in the passenger search, and enjoy ranger-led scavenger hunts that turn history into a game.

End the trip slurping hand-pulled noodles, sampling custard tarts, and souvenir-shopping for trinkets on a short, tasty stroll before heading home.
