NY Aquarium

The NY Aquarium is no gem, but it is a great place to spend an hour with a toddler!

Preschool Playground NYSCI

​

If I were a lady of means I would have a replica of the Preschool Playground at the New York Hall of Science installed at my country estate.  I love every ounce of it: the low rolling hills, tall grasses, woven and wooden objects to climb on, colorful plexi panels to peer through.  It is fantastic.

The Preschool Playground adjoins the ultra-cool big kid playground at NYSCI.  It is a recent addition, built to meet the increasing numbers of younger visitors coming to the center.

Bronx Zoo

We planned our Bronx Zoo trip for the first day the city schools were back in session.  Such a fabulous idea!  The zoo was empty—perfect for a fast moving two year old and  newborn in need of frequent snack breaks.
