Curious George Helps Families Discover All NYC Has to Offer This Summer
From beautiful parks and beaches to a variety of attractions and entertainment, all of New York City’s five boroughs are family-friendly stops. Summer is a fun time to explore all of it—and our sponsor NYC & Company is "spreading the news" on everything the area has to offer for parents and kids, whether you’re a visitor from another city or a local who wants to play tourist for the day.

With the help of this year’s Official New York City Family Ambassador, Curious George, the NYC & Company website offers tips on fun activities and places to eat in the city. Visitors will also find lists of recommended places to stay, and sample itineraries offer ideas for things to do based on your interests. You can book shows, hotel rooms and reservations all in one place from the website.
NYC has changed a lot and NYC & Company wisely doesn't just stick to Manhattan in its coverage. You'll find experiences in all five boroughs, like Coney Island, the New York Hall of Science in Queens, the magnificent Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the Bronx Zoo and Staten Island's Snug Harbor. Of course, everyone’s idea of fun is different. Luckily, NYC can cover all of the bases. Relax in the sand or surf the waves at Rockaway Beach, play a round of golf at one of the area's 10 public courses, explore numerous art galleries or simply shop 'til you drop. Whatever a family wants to do, it can be found across the five boroughs.
Need more convincing? NYC & Company is also partnering with 16 cultural institutions to create a Curious George-inspired “scavenger hunt” that focuses on the five senses. Kids will be asked to find things that George might smell, taste, touch, hear or feel. Activity sheets will be distributed at participating locations—it's sure to make a fun day for little ones.
