Great place to bring your kids. I brought my 3 year old for his birthday and he absolutely loved it. The slides were great and they had a lot of stuff for all kids.

The Edge viewing area offered a different vantage point than Empire AND One World. It is very well staffed, there is no breakfast option up there, which would have been nice. Grest views on NJ, Mid Town, etc. MOMA is MOMA, one great exhibit after another....again, well/professionally staffed.

It's a very welcoming experience. The place is very clean and the animals look healthy. I liked the entrance, seeing the very cute seals, and the penguins too, but my favorite part was the tropical area where the birds are. It's a warm place full of tropical species and plants. The birds fly over you, you're right next to them. All the species there are very beautiful. I really enjoyed my visit to the Central Park Zoo.

First of all, the sets were absolutely stunning, and then the singers and actors made the show fabulous. It was magical. The theater was also very beautiful; the only downside was that the space in front of the seats was too small. But I'm tall, so that's often the case. I highly recommend it

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.
