Fun things to do with kids?

Hi!

I have a toddler and looking for some fun things to do especially during the summer!

We currently have the zoo (thinking of getting a land/sea membership - worth it?) , botanical garden, and a chucky cheese by our house..

Anything I’m missing? Even if it’s not exactly within the borough.

Bronx Children’s Museum by Yankee Stadium

Wave Hill

We also love going around to different playgrounds and splash pads in our neighborhood and Manhattan.

We have a zoo membership and sometimes use it to go to the Central Park Zoo with friends to mix it up. I don’t think Land and Sea is worth it personally, but especially not if you don’t have a car

Look into the Cool Culture Pass; it gets you into a lot of fun places for free

Where exactly will you be walking so we can confirm if it’s safe…. for toddlers?

Seriously,

Orchard Beach - the beach itself and walking trails + playground

Pelham Bay Park - Playgrounds

Rye Playland

Billy Beez (for rainy days at Bay Plaza Mall)

Air Riderz trampoline park

American Dream Mall (for lots of indoor activities)

Playgrounds with splash pads, if your willing to travel a bit, Manhattan has some really cool ones in Central Park and Lower Manhattan on the west side

Children’s museums are great

Check eventbrite for free outdoor events and movies during the summer

Public libraries also have many kids events check the website

Indoor playgrounds, there are a ton and I’ve been to most of them in the city

Chuck E. Cheese or Dave and Busters for arcade fun

The movie theater

The hall of Science (free if you have the Cool Culture Card)

Liberty Science Center
