Looking for things to do in NYC with kids? Here are five of our favourites.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Taking the family for a city break? New York City<\/a> has as much diversity in its family-friendly activities as it does in, well, just about everything else. From arts and theatre to outdoor activities and sightseeing, we\u2019ve rounded up our top picks for things to do in NYC with kids.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

1. Children\u2019s Museum of the Arts<\/strong><\/h4>\n

NYC is a hotbed for arts and culture aficionados and there\u2019s no reason kids can\u2019t get in on the action, too. At the Children\u2019s Museum of the Arts<\/a>, budding artists are encouraged to get in touch with their inner Monet right alongside working artists. The museum\u2019s permanent collection includes over 2,000 pieces of children\u2019s artwork created around the world \u2014 how cool is that?! Attend a Saturday family studio session<\/a> to learn a new skill together as a family or simply drop by during the museum\u2019s opening hours and participate in hands-on activities throughout the space!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

2. Imagination Playground<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Imagination Playground<\/a> is anything but your average playground. The space was designed as an interactive space for kids to shape and transform as they play, giving kids the opportunity to build and explore. Part life-size building blocks, part tactile experiences, and a totally out-of-the-box playground experience, Imagination Playground has all the makings of an unforgettable day spent outdoors exploring \u2014 sand, water, giant foam blocks, mats, wagons, fabric, and crates \u2014 set right on the East River.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

3. Staten Island Ferry<\/strong><\/h4>\n

There are few things more magical in life than seeing iconic landmarks in person. But a fun ferry ride to unveil the iconic vision? That\u2019s even harder to beat. The 25-minute (free!) Staten Island ferry<\/a> ride is an adventure in itself which will make the views of the Statue of Liberty and New York Harbour that much more unforgettable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

5. Central Park<\/strong><\/h4>\n
