Looking for some great
family adventures this weekend? Check out our weekly newsletter! Every
week we scour the city for the best kid-approved exhibits,
performances, festivals and more, pick our favorites and send them out
each Thursday, just in time for the weekend. —This weekend we’re especially excited about the "Til The Cows Come Home Family Barbecue" at the Greenbelt Recreation Center, CMANY’s Island Outpost family art projects on Govenor’s Island, free canoeing on the Harlem Meer, and the New York Botanical Garden’s Garlic and Onion Festival.
We’ve also put together our ultimate guide to the city’s parks; from everything you need to know about Central Park to "hidden gem parks" to the best playgrounds around the city, we hope it will help you discover (and rediscover) the city’s wonderful green spaces.
Summer heat slowing you down? How about keeping cool at a nearby water park? Here are our favorite destinations for a wet and wild day of fun. If you’re more inclined to stay in the city, we’ve got you covered; we have plenty of ideas for weekend fun over at our big summer fun guide, which is filled
with picnic spots, golf courses, driving ranges and putt-putt, minor league baseball game schedules, novelty ice cream shops and
more.
