When my friend found out we were going to NYC she put together a list of things to see by areas of NYC. It helped out so much, I knew I needed to share this information with all of you! We weren't able to do everything on this list but it will give you a good idea of things to see and do!
We stayed three nights in New Jersey at an Airbnb and had two full days to explore and that was perfect for us and our kids!
Before we get into each area here are some things to know about this city while traveling with kids.
-The subway system is not very stroller friendly, so be prepared to carry the stroller up and down stairs.
-Bathrooms are hard to come by, unless you're at a restaurant or museum.
-Most restaurants have spot to put your stroller while you eat.
-We have always found good deals using City Passes in big cities (Boston, NYC, etc) so do your research before you go! We ended up getting the C3 Pass and it was perfect for our time there!
