Fun things to do in NYC with a 7 year old?

I am taking my 7 year old boy to New York City for 3 days amd I would



like a list of fun things to do with him. Some could be "educational"



(go to a zoo) others could be just FUN (helecopter ride, virtual



reality). Price is really not a consideration.Fun things to do in NYC with a 7 year old?
I would take him to the Central Park Zoo. I would take him for a carridge ride through Central Park. I would take him to the ESPN Zone. It is a resteraunt and on the 4th? floor there are video games and virtual reality games. So much fun!! They have a HUGE Build-A-Bear Workshop. You can also go eat with your bears at the cafe.



I would suggest a guide book. You can probably get one from your local library! And have Fun!! =]Fun things to do in NYC with a 7 year old?
"When looking for fun things to do with a 7 year-old, I find it's

helpful to see what a 7 year-old thinks is cool. As luck would have

it, I have one of those running around the place, so I dragged him

away from his game for a few minutes and asked him what he would like

to see and do if he had the chance to go to New York for a weekend.

Now, Ernie's not a seasoned traveller just yet, but he knows what he

likes, and he had a list.Are there any 7 year-olds on the planet who don't like dinosaurs? If

yours still has a first name relationship with our very old friends,

he'll enjoy the American Museum of Natural History, which plays host

to, among other things, more than ONE MILLION vertebrate fossils,

including an apatasaurus and a triceratops. Currently, there is also

a special exhibition about chocolate, which runs through September

7th.Next on Ernie's list is ""that zoo in Parasite Eve"" - The Central Park

Zoo. Opened in August of 1988, the Central Park Zoo has earned rave

reviews from its nearly one million yearly visitors. Carefully

planned to lead visitors through various habitats to visit with more

than 1400 animals, the Central Park Zoo also helps in conservation

efforts for red pandas and the rare and endangered tamarin monkey.



If your little guy likes to pet the animals too, the Tisch Children's

Zoo is right there to satisfy the craving for warm fuzziness.

Egyptian collection. The collection is organized along a timeline

beginning in 1350 BC (Nefertiti's era), and extends through the reign

of Cleopatra VII (yes, *that* Cleopatra). My own 7 year-old is a

great fan of mummies and sarcophogi; if yours shares the fascination,

he'll be enchanted here:
