New York for families

My family and I went to see the show, our 10 year old loved the music, the vibrant colors and the humor. We were pleasantly surprised how affordable tickets were for such a magical production.

This was a very moving exhibit!! Loved listening to the people working at the museum who were actually in the twin towers during 911.

I recently visited The Rink at American Dream located inside American Dream mall on a Tuesday noon, and I had a great experience. It was a decent amount of people on the ice, but not crowded at all, which made it really enjoyable. I booked my ticket online without any issues, even on short notice, and check-in was super easy and quick. Admission was $35, and skate rental was included, which I think is a nice bonus. I know some days are $25, but for a last-minute booking, I was happy with it. I got about an hour of skating time, which felt just right. I do wish there was a bit more music playing. I didn’t want to use my EarPods because I prefer to hear what’s happening around me on the ice for safety reasons. The rental skates are a bit rough and sturdy since they’re made to last, so I highly recommend wearing long, thick socks. Make sure your skates feel comfortable before stepping onto the ice - some areas might need loosening. For me, it was around the middle of my foot. It wasn’t my first time skating, so I came prepared with thick socks and had no discomfort during or after skating. Overall, I was very happy with my visit and would definitely go back when I have some free time again.
