Brooklyn Kids Guide
With the combination of its bucolic, tree-lined streets and kid amenities that seriously threaten Manhattan's claim to having the best of everything, Brooklyn is, perhaps, the most family friendly borough in New York City. DUMBO, Brooklyn Heights, Ft Greene, Park Slope and Williamsburg are just a few of the hot family neighborhoods. If you're exploring Brooklyn, you don't want to miss the Brooklyn Children's Museum, the Brooklyn Museum and the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens and the Brooklyn Culture Trolley can help you get there. Explore all that Brooklyn has to offer here, for inspiration to get more out of the real thing.
