There are hundreds of different things you can do within the big city of New York. The nightlife is outstanding with clubs such as the 40/40 Club owned by the notorious Jay-Z. If you are visiting New York City with your family there are many family activities you can participate in such as visiting the Empire State Building. Below are a couple of the main activities families just love to do when in New York City and also have been rated the best.

#1 – Top of the Rock Observation Deck

Re-opened in 2005 Top of the Rock Observation Deck lets you view a far more superior view of New York than the Empire State Building and also is a lot less crowded. Located on the 67th, 69th, and 70th floors of the Roccafeller Centre you can see the vast largeness of New York City through its glass walls and screening which lets you take outstanding pictures of nearby scenery. If you are really daring you can go up to the 70th floor where there is no screening to protect you from the outside world of New York City. Most families love this since they can see the great panoramic view of Manhattan and Central Park.

#2 – Ground Zero Museum Shop

The Ground Zero Museum Shop is our # 2 attraction when visiting New York City. Here you can find many images and artifacts recovered where the Twin Towers stood. Ground Zero photographer Gary Marlon has placed many rare pictures of Ground Zero here that were taken of the recovery. At every hour of the day a tour is taken of Ground Zero and all proceeds are givin to the Benefits 9/11 Charity.

#3 – New York City Big Apple Greeter

The New York City Big Apple Greeter is a great way to travel and see the city of New York. A greeter guides you through out New York City starting at Grand Central Station and shows you things about that station only a true New Yorker would know about. The Big Apple Greeters do everything they can to customize the experience of New York City by age group depending on if you are a couple or a family with a bunch of youngsters. Definitely a great way to see the real New York City.
