If you want to go on a tour with young children, this is the tour to choose. Short, sweet, and on a big yellow boat, it’s pretty much guaranteed to keep their interest no matter how young they are. They (and you) will get to see the beautiful park that stretches along the southern tip of Manhattan, Liberty State Park, Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, Governor’s Island, and the Brooklyn shoreline, as well as four man-made waterfalls. But you’ll have to hurry, the waterfalls are only here until October 13. The tour itself is fun, informative, and delivered in a very “New York” style that even New Yorkers themselves will enjoy.

Winslow farm is an ethereal Animal Sanctuary located in Southeastern Massachusetts. Founded by Debra White and run by a team of volunteers, this farm is an amazing place to take your children to. You will be floored by its beauty and by the care and respect that the animals are treated with. This is a great day trip for any family with young children.

The Boon Potty bench is a multi-tasking potty training tool that combines ample storage of potty-supplies, a child-friendly potty chair with a wide seat and a flexible splash guard, and a sturdy step stool that supports up to 300lbs. Easy to clean, easy to use, easy to store, and useful for years after your child has graduated to using the adult toilet- making it simple to keep around for child number two (or three or four).

For families with children 40″ or taller, this 10 minute air balloon ride is something you don’t want to miss. Part tour, part hot air balloon ride, part amusement park thrill. Like being in an open-air skyscraper. The visuals of Central Park spread out beneath your feet are nothing short of stunning. At 300 feet you are at the perfect height to see all of Central Park.
