Celebrate Earth Day

Details

Earth day is a holiday where communities come together to clean up neighborhoods and make a lasting difference on the environment! In NYC, it might feel like that’s hard to do, but there are actually a number of events or activities that families can get involved in with their kids! From nature hikes to pop up exhibits, there is something for everyone!

Visit Legoland

One Legoland Blvd, Goshen, NY | Details

Experience a whole new world when you take your kids to Legoland New York! Spend some time exploring the seven different lands within the theme park and try out all of the attractions and food they have to offer. If you are looking to make this trip a multiple day affair, book a stay at the resort’s own hotel and continue with all of the Lego fun!

Go Camping with The Family

Near NYC | Details

During the winter we have all been stuck inside and now that the weather is warm, what better way to get outside and explore than by going camping! Not only is this a fun activity for the family to try, but it can also be a nice change of scenery from the constant streetcar honks and city sounds that we hear everyday. Find a campsite that is perfect for you family and go on this fun and memorable adventure!

Spend the Day at Lunar Park in Coney Island 

Details

Nowhere in NYC is more fun in the summer than Lunar Park! There are so many attractions, games, and food to choose from that the kids (and maybe the adults too) will never want to leave!

Take a Spring Day Trip

Details

With the weather getting warmer, there is no better time to pack the kids up in the car and explore what towns close by have to offer! Whether you’re looking for a quick trip to Coney Island or would like to hike it up to the Catskills, there is a fun destination for every family to visit for the day!

Go Rock Climbing

Citywide | Details

While the weather is still cold outside (and even when they warm up) spend some time at a rock climbing facility to burn off some energy! This is a great weekend activity to do with family and friends and maybe if you really enjoy it, you can turn it into a hobby.

Visit Adventureland 

2245 Broad Hollow Rd, Farmingdale, NY | Details

Adventureland is finally open for the season and is hoping to celebrate their 60th birthday with you and your family! With so many fun rides and activities to choose from, this park is the perfect weekend destination that your kids will love! During the spring months, Adventureland will be open on weekends and holidays and tickets can be purchased online!

Art Lab: Line, Shape, Color

The Museum of Modern Art | Details

Every kid loves taking art classes, but Art Lab is taking it to a whole new level! Guests will be able to go to the Heyman Family Art Lab and take part in interesting and fun art activities such as working with wire or designing emojis.
