17 days in New York City Itinerary

Writer Pearl Buck once called New York City “a place apart,” and this giant urban center remains unlike any other in the world.

Kids will appreciate attractions like Central Park and The Metropolitan Museum of Art. You'll find plenty of places to visit near New York City: Coney Island (in Brooklyn) and Bronx Zoo (in Bronx). There's still lots to do: take in panoramic vistas at Empire State Building, don't miss a visit to Times Square, admire the landmark architecture of Rockefeller Center, and pause for some photo ops at Statue of Liberty National Monument.
