To begin the tour, we´ll tell you that Central Park si one of the biggest adventures in the city, and you can carry out recreational activities there with your kids all year long. It´s located between 59th and 110th Street. It has large green extensions, a mini zoo, an ice rink, an open-air theatre, a carousel and many paths to run, skate, ride a bike or ride a horse in. You can rent bicycles and see it in a day or more, because it´s such as big place.
If it´s about emotions, nothing better than a ferry trip to Staten Island. The trip lasts between 20 and 25 minutes from the New York Dock and you can imagine the first view that the European immigrants had of this city. You´ll see the Statue of Liberty and Manhattan in all of its splendor. The ferries leave south Manhattan, at Battery Park, and the trip is free.
The Rockefeller Centre is a place that we have all seen in films, and that´s why it´s an unmissable site if you go with your family to New York. Located between 5th Avenue and 52nd Street, it´s a reminiscence of Art Deco in early 20th century architecture. They are 19 buildings and in winter it has an ice rink to skate that will be great for your children, because there are always people of all ages enjoying it.
A trip to the Statue of Liberty is almost mandatory. The boats leave from Bowling Green and the ticket price is for $4 for children and $10 for adults.
If King Kong went up the Empire State, you and your children have to do so as well. Its address is between 5th Avenue and 34th Street. From there you can enjoy the most beautiful view of the city, and the ticket costs $6 for children and $11 for adults. If you want to see New York in all of its magnitude, you have to go to Chinatown. There you will find a piece of China transplanted to the other side of the world. They see that it´s the biggest Chinese community outside China. There you can buy Chinese objects and eat some excellent Chinese cuisine.
Next to Chinatown there´s Little Italy, a place where the immigrants arrived to the United States in the late 19th century and the beginning of the 20th. There you can eat the best pizzas and pastas with the most authentic Italian charm.
Live the dream of enjoying apartments in New york with your family and make the most of these recommendations to make your holiday an unforgettable one.
