Many families decide to travel to New York City with the whole gang – including small children. If you’re visiting in the winter, one of the most important things to remember is to make sure you have all of the necessary items that are needed to keep your kids warm. New York City gets very cold and windy in the winter, and if you or your children aren’t warm, it could certainly hinder you from leaving your hotel room. A stroller is a good thing to have because it’s very practical and convenient, and perfect for when the little ones get tired and need to rest their legs. As for child-appropriate meals, don’t forget that most times airport security and the United States customs department won’t let you bring baby food or formula on the plane Once you’re in New York City, you can go to any pharmacy (Duane Reade, CVS, etc.), and buy things that you need for your children. If you are traveling with teenagers or young adults, they will have no problem finding a big, juicy, American burger! If the children that are going to New York are a little older, you'll have No problem in eating a scrumptious burger! EAs for entertainment and tourism, New York City has endless option – even when you’re traveling with the little ones. Central Park is a great place, especially if it’s nice out, because kids can run around, explore nature, and even visit the zoo. Visitors, and of course all New Yorkers, also have the option of renting bicycles in Central Park and going for a scenic tour around the area. If you enjoy ice-skating, Rockefeller Center, Bryant Park, or Central Park are all perfect places to visit in the wintertime. Another place that’s great for children in the city is The Museum of Natural History. This museum offers many animal exhibits, dinosaur displays, and also has an IMAX theater. The Intrepid Museum, a museum of the sea, air, and space, is another good experience for kids. If you’re traveling with only little girls, they will love the American Girl Place Museum, which is located on 49th Street and 5th Avenue. Girls are able to look into the lives of their favorite American Girl Dolls, as well as purchase clothes that are the ones the dolls wear. p> New York City Toy Shops and the Disney Store are two other fun places to take your children.
