Fun things to do
in New York City.
Build a manageable Manhattan outing around the west side of Central Park, with one museum and a few outdoor discoveries.
AN ANYTIME IDEA · SELF-GUIDED
Dinosaurs, a castle and a Central Park wander
Choose the stops that fit your day. These are our suggested activities, not a scheduled tour or a reservation.
- 1
American Museum of Natural History
Pick two interests—dinosaurs, ocean life or space—and explore those galleries first instead of trying to see everything.
- 2
Naturalists’ Walk and Shakespeare Garden
Enter the park near the museum for a slower change of pace. Make a friendly challenge of spotting three leaf shapes without picking plants.
- 3
Belvedere Castle
Finish with the castle area and a group photo; shorten the park portion whenever the group needs a break.
Make the memory last.
