Ever wonder what us little people do in NYC?

On crisp Fall days we can go to Central Park and kick up the leaves. Did you know there’s a castle, a lake, a wood, big giant rocks, a theater, ice-skating, a carousel, horse and carriage rides, a zoo, play areas and cool statues to climb over? www.centralparknyc.org

On rainy days we can go to museums. My favorite is the American Museum of Natural History. When you walk in the first thing you see is a huge dinosaur, for real. In big - big - rooms there are lots of animals: elephants, a whale, monkeys and even bugs. www.amnh.org

When the snow falls we can take a trip to the Rockefeller Center. Older kids can even ice skate in the ring. The stores are filled with bright lights and there’s the biggest Christmas tree in the world. You can also see a show at Radio City close by or take a tour of NBC studios.  www.rockefellercenter.com

In spring when everything blooms we can visit the New York Botanical Gardens in the Bronx. The adventure garden is amazing. www.nybg.org. If it’s gorillas and tigers you like, you can pop into the Bronx Zoo. www.wcs.org/home/zoos/bronxzoo

On hot summer’s days we can go to the beach. NYC has lots of beaches but the best one of all is Coney Island. Where else can you paddle in the sea, walk a few yards to an historic amusement park and finish up watching a sea lion show at the New York Aquarium? www.coneyislandusa.com, www.wcs.org
