American Museum of Natural History
There is no question the AMNH has risen to super-nova star status. Movies like a Night in the Museum and dozens of books have all added to the allure of this mother of all kid-friendly museums. From gigantenormous dinosaur bones, to humungagiant blue whales hanging from ceilings, your kids will beg to stay way past closing hours. Entrance is free, but it is suggested that adults donate $19 per person.

The Zoo
The weather is still great, so why not go see the elephants? Which zoo, you may ask? Well, there are so many to choose from in the five boroughs and beyond, that whatever you choose is sure to please. For a zoo more in tune with conservation and animal welfare, your best bet is probably the Bronx Zoo, but don’t dismiss the joys of a visit to the Central Park Zoo, the Prospect Park Zoo (Brooklyn) or the Staten Island Zoo. We are pretty sure they all have elephants.

Coney Island

Coney Island
This amusement park destination might be unique in that it is part of a real live neighborhood and is along a real live beach. Situated along the great boardwalk that connects Coney Island to Brighton Beach, if you get tired of roller coasters and Ferris wheels, just walk along the boardwalk and feel the cool ocean breezes and snack on some hot dogs and cotton candy washed down with some cold beer. Oh, and get your kids something, too.

There is no better time to make some great memories with your kids than now. And with so many fun activities to choose from, those memories are sure to be thrilling. Get out there and par-ty!
