说的对!

自然历史博物馆可以晃一天,intrepid博物馆,小男生应该更加感兴趣;其他如moma, the met,不知道小朋友的口味。阿大说的那个玩具店,叫啥来着,我觉得其实没啥逛头。中央公园,说真的,好玩的地方没几个,旋转木马可能还有点儿意思。

啊,不过可以拉去看show,有些show是只有舞蹈和音乐的,就是不知道小朋友会不会嫌闷?

8到10岁的小朋友可以看魔术秀或者木偶秀,对话太多的怕听不懂,反倒失去乐趣。我从前在洛杉矶看过一场牵线木偶戏,活灵活现的,身体的表情丝丝入扣,成年人也会感动。相信纽约也一定有类似的。纽约,什么没有啊!乡下人憧憬地说。 :mrgreen:

玩具店是说FAO Schwartz吧?

http://www.fao.com/shop/index.jsp?categoryId=3810526

百老汇剧也有适合儿童的,象正在演的Matilda,不知道夏天还演不演了。去年夏天我们带十一岁的去看The Phantom of Opera,他也很入戏。我们大人是重温当年。

长岛也可以考虑,有海滩,花园什么的。

笑嘻嘻说的植物园在Bronx呢,也很不错。里面那个大温室上过电影《The Age of Innocence》。

没文化一点儿的话,新泽西有个Six Flags Theme Park, 里面还带个Safari,就是开车在动物园里开,挺好玩的。

多谢多谢 :-D

我的时间老多啦 :mrgreen: 按我的计划,我自己带小朋友呆2周纽约,然后接下来10多天跟其他朋友汇合一起玩,租个车出去逛逛。成不成还得看大家请假情况 :mrgreen:

行程还没做呢,就赶着来问问,做行程的时候就好有目的性 :mrgreen: 谢谢

小朋友玩的地方我没什么概念,FAO Schwartz, bronx zoo, 自然博物馆看恐龙和big bang,中央公园的小动物园看猴子,应该都是孩子喜闻乐见的。

还有statue of liberty, 夏天傍晚晚上坐circle line cruise, 不花钱的话可以坐staten island ferry, 在河里看曼哈顿skyline感觉跟在高楼脚下走不一样。
met还有个部分叫cloisters, 在城边,修得像中世纪修道院,里面都是中世纪的艺术品。
去儿童博物馆的话,brooklyn children's museum很不错,liberty science center (在NJ,跟纽约隔一条河)有全美最大的dome theater.

两个星期一定要呆在纽约吗?是在纽约市还是在新泽西? 做为后妈,我觉得应该送两个星期的夏令营。从前亲戚的小孩从中国来过暑假,我送他去上YMCA的夏令营,叫做LOCAL DISCOVERY, 有老师带着去各种AMUSEMENT PARK, 最后一天在海边烧烤。看孩子的爱好,我们的小客人还去上过篮球营和乐高营,是提高英文水平,了解本地生活的好途径。 :mrgreen: 妈妈就可以逛街会友喝茶,无后顾之忧啦。

这是exactly 我要做的 :mrgreen: 我家小朋友英语没学过,主要目的要送她去英语环境玩玩,选纽约是有老友在,可以投靠投靠,其实如果有合适的夏令营,不一定纽约,YMCA夏令营我去看看,其它还有好的赶紧推荐推荐 :worthy:

回朝露:大城市附近的夏令营都有很多不错的,最好是确认了住处在附近找,毕竟每天接送的路程远也是负担。英文不是太熟练的话建议找动手多的艺术营舞蹈滑冰游泳营,还有厨艺营时装设计营攀岩营航海营农场喂动物营,挑小朋友感兴趣又擅长的比较好,容易在新环境里建立自信。时间需要两个星期的更好,有机会交到朋友。

回笑嘻嘻:木偶戏是在迪斯尼音乐堂附近的小剧场看的,一时记不得名字,我买了他家的一个匹诺曹回来,等我找到他把名字给你。

我也求信息。YMCA不是要求medical history/vaccination records吗?国内容易办吗?
大人来我就送当日往返的tour. 我同事评论说,原来是daycare for adults.
puppet show哪里都有啊,就是水平差别而已。我们家小朋友都可以排一个-上学老师教过, 南瓜节买了一个木偶回来。有专门到学校/夏令营表演的。

Travel Guide: New York for Kids

Ted McGrath
By PAMELA PAUL
Published: June 13, 2013 88 Comments

New York is an overwhelming city to visit with children — crowded, loud, expensive and larded with a seemingly infinite number of landmarks and showstoppers that your children simply must experience.
Related

If it’s any consolation, even people raising children in New York are daunted; at any given moment another family is certainly doing something more enriching and entertaining than yours. But from experience comes wisdom, and local parents have learned how to take advantage of New York in manageable portions.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art as one of five things to do on a Saturday? Not unless you feel like losing sight of your 4-year-old. Try something smaller or skip it. Need a roomy bathroom in Midtown? Department stores present an all-too-rare opportunity. What follows is carefully culled advice from New Yorkers on how to cover the city right, whether your brood includes a toddler or a teenager.

Lesson Plan

No one can expect children to spend a week traipsing through museums, but some of New York’s boutique institutions are of special interest to young people. The Tenement Museum (103 Orchard Street near Delancey Street; tenement.org) on the Lower East Side offers a riveting glimpse into urban family life. Guided tours reveal the daily routines of generations of Irish, Jewish and Italian immigrants who made their mark then quickly moved up and out. Pick up a copy of “All-of-a-Kind Family”or a vintage toy in the museum shop, one of the city’s best.

MoMA (11 West 53rd Street; moma.org) does an excellent job making modern and contemporary art accessible to children as young as 4. On weekend mornings, guided tours are divided into age-appropriate groups in which children can observe a number of works and draw; later they gain free admittance to the entire museum. The cafeteria is both grown-up and child-friendly, and there’s an art laboratory with hands-on activities and even an audio guide for young people.

Ideal for balmier days, the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum (Pier 86, 12th Avenue at 46th Street; intrepidmuseum.org) has expanded its exhibits and family programs since I spent chilly, bored afternoons there as a child in the ’80s. The most significant is the Space Shuttle Pavilion, which is scheduled to reopen in July, showcasing the Enterprise, NASA’s first space shuttle, which arrived last year. The U.S.S. Intrepid, a World War II-era aircraft carrier, is worthwhile in itself. While the complex suffered damage during Hurricane Sandy, most of its facilities are once again shipshape. Families may want to consider Operation Slumber, which allows for overnight visits with special activities for children 6 and older.

The New York Transit Museum (Boerum Place and Schermerhorn Street in Brooklyn; mta.info/mta/museum) is a favorite with train-obsessed grown-ups and children alike. The permanent exhibits include old turnstiles and vintage subway cars.

An entire book could be devoted to kid-literary New York, but highlights include the Alice in Wonderland statue in Central Park, a standard photo-op; Grand Central Terminal for the finale of “The Cricket in Times Square”; the genteel neighborhood of Yorkville, specifically East 88th Street, for the “Lyle, Lyle Crocodile” books, and the same neighborhood for “Harriet the Spy.” Also, the Plaza hotel for “Eloise” and the Met for fans of “From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler” (a downloadable guide is available online).

Snack Time

Chicken nuggets and chain restaurants can be found anywhere. For fresher food, head to the Union Square Greenmarket, a mecca for top restaurateurs (open Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday; grownyc.org/unionsquaregreenmarket). You may get a green or two into your child’s mouth, or at least a wild strawberry. There are ample samples of jam and maple sugar candy.

If you’re not up for the interminable wait for a table at Serendipity 3, try Alice’s Tea Cup (three locations; alicesteacup.com), where children can get a sprinkle of fairy dust before their Alice’s s’mores (“served melted and messy”) and admire murals of Lewis Carroll-inspired images. The astonishingly moist scones are not to be missed, and there are healthful salads and sandwiches as well (try the Lapsang souchong smoked chicken).

For more sweets, head to Economy Candy (108 Rivington Street near Ludlow Street; economycandy.com), an overstuffed emporium of candies both oldfangled (Astro Pops, Sugar Daddy) and new (gummies galore).

Recess

Once the children are hopped up on sugar, they’ll need to burn off the energy. Try the Children’s Museum of the Arts (103 Charlton Street near Hudson Street; cmany.org). All the artwork is made by children, and visitors can make their own (bonus: you don’t have to clean up). An area for younger children includes sand, Play-Doh and guided music activities. Children go berserk for the Ball Pond, a closed-in area of oversize balls. Is it experiential art? An installation? Children need not bother with such imponderables.

For those more in need of a gambol, New York has hundreds of playgrounds, with 21 in Central Park alone. Some of the best truly shine in summer, when the sprinklers are turned on. Heckscher, Central Park’s oldest playground, just off Central Park South, is hard to beat with its rivers of water and sprinklers separated into areas for older and younger children. Behind the playground are massive glacial rocks that bolder children like to climb on and slide down. (It’s also within striking distance of the manageable Central Park Zoo, with its fanciful musical clock and accessible feeding zoo.)

Adventure Playground at 67th Street in Central Park also offers excellent water play, as does the Arthur Ross Terrace, a free outdoor water fountain park on the north side of the American Museum of Natural History. The gentle play is especially good for toddlers and very small children. On the East Side, Ancient Playground, just north of the Metropolitan Museum of Art near 85th Street, includes pyramid structures for climbing.

Downtown, Teardrop Park in Battery Park City is a haven of walkways, playgrounds and Hudson River views, with one of the grandest slides in the city. Nelson A. Rockefeller Park near Chambers Street includes a wading pool.

Adults and children of all ages (with smaller children in strollers) may enjoy taking the pedestrian walkway over the Brooklyn Bridge, one of New York’s great pleasures. Once in Brooklyn, Jane’s Carousel (janescarousel.com), a gorgeously restored 1922 ride in Brooklyn Bridge Park, gives children a spin while offering parents a spectacular view of the Manhattan skyline. Dumbo, one of Brooklyn’s newly glitzy neighborhoods, has a number of boutiques for local loft babies, as well as Jacques Torres Chocolate (66 Water Street near Main Street, mrchocolate.com), where children can gawp at the factory within.

CHEAT SHEET

Where to Set Up Base

Midtown is close to everything but is crowded and expensive. The West Village is picturesque and more manageable. The Upper West Side is a kiddie haven. Union Square has its Greenmarket and subways to points in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

How to Feed Picky Eaters

Delis and diners are two key operative terms. Delis will make everything from an egg-and-cheese sandwich to tuna melts, and many offer huge hot-plate selections. Diners have immense menus that include pasta and sandwich basics. And there’s always the New York pizzeria, where a typical $2.50 slice is enough to fill a 5-year-old.

Where to Go for a Pit Stop

The New York Public Library (Fifth Avenue at 42nd Street) is a welcome refuge, with exhibits centered on children’s literature and illustration, and a large children’s library with reading room.

Where to Find a Potty

The city’s dirty secret is that beyond the parks, there are few public bathrooms. Try Starbucks or dash into a restaurant looking sheepish; having a desperate child on hand usually expedites matters. A few chain stores have bathrooms, as do nail salons and public libraries.

Which Must-Sees to Miss

Dylan’s Candy Bar, which draws hordes of sugar-mad tweens, can be skipped. So can the Children’s Museum of Manhattan, which is small compared to similar museums elsewhere. And sadly the glorious Neue Galerie does not admit children under 12.

Where to Take a Field Trip

Coney Island hosts the eccentric and colorful Mermaid Parade on June 22, with revelers in shimmery scales and oversized tails. Afterward, young children can ride the low-scare Mermaid Parade ride at Luna Park (lunaparknyc.com). In the fall, the Medieval Festival at Fort Tryon Park (whidc.org/home.html) is a great excuse to explore the Cloisters, the medieval branch of the Met, with the added bonus of princesses and knights. The Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s Sakura Matsuri Festival, a weekend-long celebration of cherry blossoms in the spring, is a local favorite.

如果不会英语上夏令营最好还是找个同伴,不然娃会痛苦吧。去年夏天我家女儿的一个朋友就是带着自己的表哥(国内来的)一起上了一个月的夏令营。不过那个男生6年级了,肯定在国内也是学过些英文的。到这边来进步很快。

我有没讲过,有次送 Ethan上YMCA summer camp 的时候, camp leader请我帮忙, 因为有一个孩子不停围着他拍打. 但是这个不光是语言的问题, 我用中文讲了也没用. 但是语言也是一个问题, 因为他英文只会数到10, 在camp里很无聊.

回笑嘻嘻:

终于找到了我的匹诺曹,他的大脚板儿上写着木偶剧院的名字: http://www.bobbakermarionettes.com/ 据说现在是洛杉矶的Historic Culture Monument, 惊见我以前买的小木偶价格已经翻了一番,不知道是不是跟国内旅游区一样, 得到“世界遗产”的称号就大幅涨价 :mrgreen:。记得他们家演出完毕给每位观众送一颗冰激凌球,小小礼品店隔壁就是做木偶的作坊,我贪心地每个都想买,现在很后悔只买了匹诺曹。

回豪情: 我亲戚的小孩上YMCA camp的时候跟他们讲了小朋友是海外来的,就没有要求medical history. 这还是要问具体的camp。
