Much better than one in manhattan (which we go to a lot but kind of hate—it’s. Small and gets so crowded). Also Sugar Hill children’s museum is really lovely!</p> <p>Sea glass cArousel</p> <p>There are a ton of awesome playgrounds in Central Park </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-at-3#post-2776341 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 14:50:04 +0000 MrsLonghorn 2776341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live in TX and visit my in-laws a few times a year in<br /> NYC. </p> <p>Natural History Museum for sure at this age! The children's museum is fine, but not worth it if you only have one day. We went when we were there for 4 days, and he enjoyed it, but would have preferred returning to Natural History. </p> <p>There are lots of good neighborhood playgrounds if you need to burn some energy off.</p> <p>If the Union Square market will be open while you're there, DS enjoyed taking the subway there and getting an apple cider donut ("fall" doesn't really exist where we live!)</p> <p>I think my 3 year old's ideal day would be: natural history museum, hot dog from a cart for lunch, nature walk and playground in central park, egg cream for a special "NYC-only" dessert. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-at-3#post-2776335 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 14:35:46 +0000 math.nerd 2776335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: It's funny because one friend lives in Manhattan and only recently got a 'summer home' on the island. The other friend just moved to Long Island from Houston. So it will be fun to find some new places together. And I'll look like a super star if I can suggest some good options too :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-at-3#post-2776332 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 14:34:16 +0000 snowjewelz 2776332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@math.nerd: I'm close to Huntington! Too bad all the fall activities are over by then. The museum row is def fun; LI childrens museum, firefighting museum, cradle of aviation they are all at the same place. But if your friends with kids live in the area I'm sure they're already well versed in all things kids on the island! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-at-3#post-2776325 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 14:19:19 +0000 math.nerd 2776325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: My friends live in Locust Valley and Huntington. I'd love LI reccomendations too!</p> <p>@sillymilly: YESSS! THISSSSS! I remember I was going to NYC a while ago and I was reading about this museum but it wasn't opening until right after my trip. I can't believe I forgot about this. THANK YOU!!!! :-)</p> <p>@SeptMomma12: These are awesome suggestions too. I'm going to check out the Children's museum too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-at-3#post-2776301 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 13:06:06 +0000 SeptMomma12 2776301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with @snowjewelz on Central Park Zoo and Museum of Natural History. He will love the dinosaurs! We haven't been yet, but I've also heard great things about the Children's Museum of Manhattan.</p> <p>As for LI...it's small, but my son really liked the Nassau County Firefighter's Museum at that age: <a href="http://www.ncfiremuseum.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ncfiremuseum.org/</a>. Same with the Cradle of Aviation Museum: <a href="https://www.cradleofaviation.org/" rel="nofollow">https://www.cradleofaviation.org/</a>. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-at-3#post-2776278 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 12:15:21 +0000 sillymilly 2776278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Based on your screenname, I'd recommend the museum of mathematics :) It is geared towards kids and has lots of interactive exhibits. </p> <p><a href="https://momath.org" rel="nofollow">https://momath.org</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-at-3#post-2776272 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 11:50:53 +0000 snowjewelz 2776272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Where will you be on the island? I'm on the island. Feel free to wall me! The island is just so long so it depends on where you are! </p> <p>Def central park/central park zoo. Natural History Museum, Highline. Do you have Gazillion Bubble show? I don't know if that's an exclusive NYC thing or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-at-3#post-2776230 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 10:25:00 +0000 math.nerd 2776230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hello all! </p> <p>I'm SO EXCITED to be heading to Long Island (from CA) the first weekend of November with my son (3 3/4) and husband to visit some of my closest girlfriends and their families.</p> <p>We're thinking of taking the train into NYC one day - likely that Sunday - but I've never done the city before with a little one. Any suggestions of awesome stuff we can't do anywhere else? Or should we just stay on Long Island? </p> <p>Any recommendations on Long Island? </p> <p>And while we're at it - any plane ride recommendations?</p> <p>Thanks all </p>
