NEW YORK · GO MAKE A MEMORY

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.
