Best Things To Do With Kids In New York

The Empire State Building

Alongside every adult’s choice, the Empire State Building is also a kid-friendly destination in New York. The dazzling city views from the 86th floor is a great New York experience. You’ll have two potential lines to cope with—buying tickets and waiting for the elevator. You can also book the tickets online. Tips: Dusk is an ideal time to see the city and watch the lights twinkle with a magical sight.

Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island tours

Statue Liberty and Ellis Island tours might sound cliché but they have great kids-friendly tour guide options. You can ask for the children’s audio tour (created for ages six to ten) in the lobby of the Statue of Liberty’s pedestal, and then kids four feet or taller can climb to the top of the statue’s crown. Don’t miss the free Statue of Liberty Museum.

Children's Museum of the Arts

As the name suggests, this museum is made for kids. Check out the 10,000-square-foot Children’s Museum of the Arts for kid-centered activities, plenty of hands-on art workshops, and 2,000 brightly coloured paintings and drawings. The art there is mostly designed by kids.
