This completely revised second edition has many new entries. This is the ultimate guidebook for parents, grandparents, tourists, and teachers looking for a guaranteed good time for kids ages 2-12. "Sure there are other guidebooks, but Ishac's features unusual spots...it veers off the beaten path...noting the very coolest part of each site," wrote the New York Daily News. You even get 10 bonus locations--just for fun! Description from Publisher You will no longer have any excuse for being bored on a rainy day (or a sunny day either!) I recently took my 5 year old to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island without first checking to see what information this book offered. BAD MOVE! My son was tired of waiting on the long lines, bored with static exhibits, hungry, hot, etc. If I had checked with New York's 50 Best Places to Take Children I would have found out that there is a 90 minute tour boat that goes past the Statue of Liberty. My son would have seen the statue without the long, tiring lines to wait on just to go to the top of the pedestal (we weren't early enough to go to the crown). Mr. Ishac has captured the best attractions the big apple has to offer a child from the kid's point of view. The book is small enough to carry in a pocket while acting like a tourist; even if you have lived in NY all of your life like I have. Included in the featured attractions are the usual favorites such as the American Museum of Natural History and the Empire State building plus some unusual and obscure spots such as the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory. Now I just have to try and find the time to visit all of these great places. Description from Amazon.com Customer Review
