For both adults and children, this is a cultural guide to New York City. Featuring attractions and educational programmes aimed at young people in the five boroughs of the city, the book includes entries on: art museums and historic houses, parks, botanical gardens, zoos, libraries, and performing arts centres; the boroughs of Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island; and general descriptions, plus details such as hours of operation, fees, travel directions, and special opportunities for families, schools, and other groups.
This book is wonderful! New York is so immense that sometimes it's difficult to know where to take the kids for age-appropriate, family entertainment & educational fun. I grew up in NYC and was not even aware of all the available programs, shows and places to go with children. Our family has already enjoyed numerous ideas from the book. The best part is, the book covers all 5 boroughs - so no matter where you live, you can discover something new. (Who knew that there is a farm museum in Queens or a puppet theatre in Central Park?) The book is chock full of fabulous suggestions, and provides age recommendations plus phone numbers, addresses, & directions via public transportation for each destination. Parents will never again have to hear the words "I'm bored."
