Things to do with kids in New York City

New York is a great place for holidays with children. Parents can take the family out to Ellis Island to see the Statue of Liberty or trek up the Empire State Building to stand on its observation deck, as the panoramic views of the metropolis are a joy at any age.

For active children, a stroll through Central Park will give them plenty of space to stretch their legs and, in winter months, families shouldn't miss ice skating at the Wollman Rink or Rockefeller Plaza. The amazing shops around New York City are also perfect for those rainy days.

Options include Nike House of Innovation and the decadent Dylan's Candy Bar, where kids will go wild at the amount of sugary candies and chocolates available. The Brooklyn Children's Museum is also worth a visit, as are the New York Aquarium and Central Park Zoo.

For warm summer nights, nothing beats a baseball game at Yankee Stadium, complete with hot dogs and popcorn. With so much to see, children visiting New York City will be sure to have a memorable and unforgettable experience.
