e live in—arguably—the greatest city in the world, and for seven months, we were unable to take advantage of all the city has to offer. So, we compiled a list of 45 things in New York City you can do with your kids right now—from museums and experiences to many things we consider “touristy” (but now’s the perfect time for New Yorkers to visit!). Consider this the end-of-year bucket list for every New York metro area family.

And if you check off any of these items and post about your adventures on Instagram, make sure to tag us: @NYMetroParents!
