New York City family vacation reviews, guides and resources

Everyone should visit the Big Apple at one point or another. NYC is one of those cities that is uniquely positioned to become whatever type of family vacation you want it to be. Whether you’re looking for culture, theater, food, world-class museums, some of the most historic landmarks in the country — even nature in the form of Central Park — New York City has it.

It can cost as much as the first semester of college for the kids. But there also are plenty of free things to do in NYC!  

Conversely, with so many options, visiting and planning for your family’s trip to NYC can be daunting. There are so many details to plan — from where to stay, what to do, what to eat and which play to see!
