Super fun playground for my 5 year old. Lots of stuff to do there. The water park is in a weird spot though. It’s in a sunken section, almost hidden and under trees. It seems like a better spot for that would be out in the open or in the sun. But the park is designed for kids of all abilities so it may be related to that. It truly is an inclusive park with the jungle gym even being wheelchair accessible which I’ve never seen before. My son is not disabled but even so he loves the jungle gym. It is a very neat park!

One of the coolest playgrounds visited to date. My 5 year old son loved it!! Lots of fun play structures to climb and play on. It even had a merry go round for kids to operate and propel through pedal or pushing power! Very cool! I’m so jealous I wish I was a kid again!

The art collection here was pretty cool. The best part however of this museum is the giant NYC map room which is a 3D map of the city in a gigantic room with a walkway above around the edge of the room. You look down and can see familiar landmarks such as Central Park, Bronx Zoo, Prospect Park, Coney Island, and it even has the twin towers there since this 3D map is from the 90s I believe. Very intricately detailed and such a cool experience walking around there. It’s also very cool and admission is free so you are free to enter and have a look around as much as you want. There is free parking around there too, multiple lots.
There was one exhibit of weird naked stuff that I don’t understand how they can think of it as art. Not so fun trying to get my 5 year old to stop looking at it!! It’s not even artistic nakedness. It’s like weird adult images. That exhibit wasn’t there last time I visited so I’m assuming it’s temporary but visitors can feel free to not visit that exhibit although it’s a little difficult as it’s in the middle of a huge room that you must walk through to access other exhibits.

Such a cool park for my 5 year old son to play and climb in the middle of our Manhattan day!!! Great place to sit down and rest while he was playing, on the way from Battery Park to WTC.

Such a beautiful little monument in the middle of Downtown Manhattan!! With views of the World Trade Center from such a green and natural park. In memory of the Irish famine of the 1800s. Lots of historical quotes and information written on the sides.
