Be a Tourist! Now there may be a stigma for a tristate area resident to be riding a double decker tour bus in NYC, but 60 million tourists a year can’t be wrong! Why not celebrate living so close to the greatest city in the world by finding out what draws so many to it each year? We’ve enjoyed The Ride/The Tour in the past and it would be a great way to spend time as a family enjoying the sights of the city! Read our review here, and click HERE to buy a special Groupon offer for your family date in NYC!

Ready to ride!

 

Live Theater Like Nowhere Else!: Sure there’s Broadway, with new shows like SpongeBob SquarePants and time honored favorites like Wicked, Aladdin and Lion King. Off Broadway shows are out there too, and may be easier to get tickets. Check out The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, or Puffs, for your Harry Potter fan.

 

Revisit Your Pop Culture Favorites: At the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, Muppet fans will love seeing more than 300 objects from Jim Henson’s legacy. Want something a little scarier? Madame Tussaud’s in Times Square offers the Ghostbusters Experience! Strap on the VR goggles and become a Ghostbuster in the city where they began!
Check out this Groupon Deal for the Museum of the Moving Image! Click HERE to purchase!

 

Get Some Culture at a Museum: There’s nowhere like New York to find museums about cultures, time periods, art and more. Valentine’s Day 2019 is on a Thursday – check our article for New York City Museums with FREE admission on Thursday or every day! Want more access to deals? We have a list of New Jersey libraries that offer museum passes!

 

 

Explore with TMNT: The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and other Nickelodeon characters are NYC’s family ambassadors! Check out each turtle’s ideal itinerary and learn fun facts as you explore. You may even find new exciting places to visit. Which turtle is your child most like?

 

Love Sculpture: While exploring the sights of Midtown Manhattan for a family date in NYC, take a photo in front of the Love Sculpture. Originally designed by American artist Robert Indiana as a Christmas card for the Museum of Modern Art, the sculpture sits on the corner of Sixth Avenue and 55th Street and is the perfect backdrop for a Valentine’s Day photo. For those looking for hope in the new year, not too far away is the Hope Sculpture on the corner of Seventh Avenue and 53rd Street.
