Radion Aminov and other New York City parents are fortunate to live
in an area that offers multiple venues for kids of all ages. From
education to parks to food, New York City has ample locations for
parents to take kids to keep them active and entertained.
Central
Park is an excellent location for families as it provides plenty of
room to walk, bike, run, and play. The park also houses a historic
carousel and bike rentals are located on the safest traffic stretch of
the park, near the Central Park Boathouse. The Central Park Zoo gives
kids the chance to see polar bears and sea lions, as well as get up
close and personal at the petting zoo. Nearby the park are other
entertainment options for kids, namely the Swedish Marionette Theatre
that produces hour-long puppet shows based on classic fairy tales.
Teenagers can channel their inner Holden Caulfield two blocks north in
the American Museum of Natural History. The museum features dinosaur and
whale skeletons, as well as a meteorite. Kids may also be captivated by
the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s medieval swords and daggers or the
Egyptian art and history exhibits.
New York City residents, like Radion Aminov, have a wealth of dining out options to choose from for
the family. The Shake Shack offers its renowned burgers, fries, and
flat-top hot dogs for dinner. Afterwards, families can end the night
with a refreshing dessert from Café Lalo, or grab a cone from one of New
York City’s many ice cream shops.
