With the beautiful weather upon us, there's simply no better time to get out and explore New York City! There are so many wonderful options, it took a while to whittle them down, but here is our top five places to go in NYC with or without kids this summer:
1) Governors Island Opening today, May 1st, accessible by ferry and boasts the largest slide in New York (check out the bike rentals, mini-golf, zip-lining and much more!)
2) Victorian Gardens Opening May 25th, an old-fashioned amusement park in the middle of Manhattan with a mini roller coaster and even a Whac-a-Mole!
3) The Vessel at Hudson Yards It has people of all ages talking about it. Some love it. Some intensely dislike it. Check it out for yourself (and if you bring the kids, they'll be excited to take the perfect posting pics for "Insta" while getting some exercise too!)
4) Domino Park Less than a year old, a 1/4 of a mile along the Williamsburg Bridge, this former site of the Domino Sugar Refinery, features displays of vintage factory equipment. The park also boasts a playground, dog run, volleyball court and bocce ball court.
5) Pier 62 Carousel This 36' wonder opens to a sprawling lawn ideal for a picnic! (West Chelsea, cross over at 22nd Street, and climb aboard!)
