Adventures for kids
Kid tested activities to skip the playground and create next level play dates all over town
Boards, blogs and Toks arent fun in real life
Parents get the same 50 kids places suggested to them on the boards, but that doesn't necessarily mean any of them are fun or kids know how to make them fun. Plus spending more money doesn’t solve the problem.
Fun by design
Having lived here for generations we know mixing it up with cool new places and proven activities make a weekend. We’ve broken up adventures by location, intensity and average kid age.
Recipe for fun
We’ve assembled adventures for kids of all ages from decades of city adventure experience. We combine activities at 1 to 4 places for a morning or afternoon excursion and include places to eat that kids choose over places their parents did.
Not specific weekends. Adventures for anytime of the year
Using Timeout or Mommy or other boards are typically for a specific weekend. Choose any adventure anytime, they work. Maybe you dress warmer but you can do it.

CITY AS PLAYGROUND
New York is pretty unusual. You’ll find lobbies that feel like forests, mountains with caves in Manhattan, specific subway lines which can let you do things you’re technically not allowed to do and then there’s the food. There are places with access through other places... such as the burger joint hidden behind the curtain in a 4-star hotel or the pop up Smorgusburg event or a row of trucks at an empty soccer field in Red Hook. Its endless
Find fun everywhere
SOMETIMES FUN NEEDS DIRECTIONS
Fun can often be the big box you receive not what’s in it. Similarly kids can find a giant empty parking lot unimaginably cool. It’s even better when an activity is attached.
We help direct you and your kids to what other kids found fun. Typically there’s no directions... we correct that putting some structure into chaos.
Actual treasure hunts
Its one thing to pretend to go on a treasure hunt its another to actually go in to a cave, walk along a beach, find an abandoned military base, a boat graveyard or a park lined with shipwrecks and 100 year old fire hydrants randomly sprouting from the ground.
By car or train
Within an hour of the city there are parks with magical temples, conservatories, old, yet ageless structures accessible by car or train.
