Thanks for everyone's willingness to help. We are traveling Sunday to Sunday...therefore, we will have full days in the City Monday through Saturday. There will be two 30 somethings a 9 year old girl and a 6 year old boy. We have been to the city, but never with children. We are staying in Chelsea, but between 5th and 6th avenue. Here are a list of things we have decided we want to do... Not sure if we can fit it all in.
Before I list, my main concern is how long the kids will last. I'm not sure what we can do for down time.
Statue of Liberty (crown tickets)
Ellis Island
Yankees game (play at 7:05 every weeknight)
Pizza and Cheesecake, but not sure where
Children's Art Museum
Disney on Broadway Tour
Ellen's Star Diner
Wicked on Broadway
Highline Park
One World Trade Center and Outdoor fountains (not the memorial museum, don't think kids are ready)
Central Park (probably want to spend most of a day here)
Coney Island Day (Nathan's, Luna Park, Aquarium)
World's Largest Candy Shop (Kids saw this on youtube, not sure what this is or if it's really the world's largest)
Charging Bull
Radio City Music Hall - if there is a show or something
Grand Central Station
Top of the Rock
Walk Brooklyn Bridge
Bike rental at Governor's Island
There is a aircraft carrier, but I can't remember the name of it.
A museum (we are not museum people, I thought the kids would want American Museum of Natural History, but said on YouTube it looks like just a bunch of diaromas... not sure which museum, suggestions?)
Dessert from: Donut Planet and City Cakes and Eggloo in Chinatown
Need some ideas of places to eat where there is a kids meal choice. I hate to say it, but my kids like kid food. They will eat meat and three.
Thanks for any help with a schedule or just suggestions.
