Kid Friendly New York City Vacation Destinations by Teresa
Mills
Our Family Vacation Travels
took us to New York City in the summer of 2006. While there, we were able
to visit many kid-friendly destinations. In this article, I will list our
very favorite and the most kid friendly of the stops.
| Statue of Liberty and
Ellis Island
The Statue of Liberty and
Ellis Island were one of our favorite stops on the entire trip. The ferry
ride is easy to take children on, and the history park area around the
statue and the Ellis Island Museum offer a lot of space for expending energy
between tours. If you are interested in touring the interior of the statue,
a limited number of time passes are available at no cost daily on a first-come
first-served basis from the Ferry Company
While there, take advantage
of the Park Service photography service to have your group's photo taken
in front of the Statue. They get the shot at a perfect angle to show you
and the statue.... good family vacations souvenir. |

NBC Studio Tour
This tour was especially
kid friendly and fun. We toured several of the NBC studios including the
Nightly News Studio, and the Saturday Night Live studio. The tour offered
a few interactive activities for the group. The group got to go through
the motions of creating a newscast including a weather report.
The tour starts in the Sweet
Shop of the NBC Experience Store and ends back in the Studio Store.

The Brooklyn Bridge
The bridge is one of the
completely free New York City Attractions. You can, of course, spend as
much time as you want to on the bridge. There are plaques all along the
bridge spelling out the history of the bridge. The views of New York City
from the bridge are spectacular. The area around the base of the bridge
is a beautiful area of downtown New York City. Chinatown is just a few
blocks to the North of the bridge, and is another great place to walk through. |
One of the best things about
spending your family vacation time on the bridge is simply spending time
together, walking and learning more about the country.
