"My husband and I took our 15 and 17-year-old kids to New York City for the first time in a decade. Everything on my kids' to-do lists was super touristy, but they loved every moment. Being total tourists was a great way to experience the city with our teens, and we'd do it again. It'd been a decade since my kids visited New York, but given their love of theater and big cities, it wasn't surprising when they recently started asking my husband and me to take them."
"My family relocated to Florida from Maryland about nine years ago, so trips to NYC aren't as easy as they were when we lived up north. Still, we began researching flights and hotels, and planning a long weekend with our now 15- and 17-year-old kids in the Big Apple. On our three-night visit to NYC, we acted like tourists, indulging in shows, carriage rides, and bus tours. Embracing our inner tourists turned out to be the perfect way to see New York with our teens for several reasons."
It had been a decade since the children visited New York, and their renewed enthusiasm for theater and big-city life prompted a family trip. The family relocated from Maryland to Florida nine years earlier, making trips to NYC less convenient, so planning focused on a long weekend with flights and hotels. Over three nights, the family embraced tourist activities: attending shows, taking carriage rides, and riding bus tours. Choosing classic tourist experiences made attractions easy to access, matched the teens' interests, encouraged shared excitement, and created lasting family memories. The family enjoyed the trip and would repeat the tourist approach.
