A trip to Tel Aviv delivers crystal clear beaches, mindblowing museums, history and modernism meeting on every corner—and some of the best food you’ll ever have. All of it makes Tel Aviv the ultimate blend of beach lounging, historical sightseeing, and urban exploring.

The Israeli city is kid-friendly to boot! My husband is Israeli, so although we live in New York, my family rents an apartment in Tel Aviv for a few weeks every year. Kids are welcome anywhere adults are and public playgrounds are ubiquitous. Just about everyone speaks English, the weather is phenomenal, and the area is super walkable, meaning touring Tel Aviv is easy even with kiddos.  

I might be a bit biased when it comes to this beautiful city, but there are plenty of fun things to do in Tel Aviv, so I think it makes a great vacation spot for families. Find more fun cities to visit in our Family Travel Guide, including Stockholm or unique trips, such as exploring Iceland.

While there are a plethora of fun things to do with kids in San Antonio and the surrounding areas, on a recent trip from Houston, my husband and I took our 5-year-old to explore LEGOLAND Discovery Center. If you’ve been to a LEGOLAND Discovery center in another region, such as Westchester, Boston, or Philadelphia, you’ll find much of the same type of interactive fun at the San Antonio location. We took a break from our adventures down the Riverwalk to find an entire world of LEGO magic tucked away inside of the Shops at Rivercenter, and I am incredibly glad we did. 

Keeping kids educated and entertained can cost a pretty penny, so we've rounded up FREE and low-cost classes offered by local stores—including STEM programs, crafting, cooking, and more. We’re big fans of the $0 price tag, but we’ve also included a few that allow for one-time visits up to about $30. 

Many stores have various locations, so be sure to check with these to confirm local schedules, offerings, and rates.

Looking for more? We’ve previously rounded up 60 FREE Places to Play, which include stores, nature centers, play spaces, and other venues. Of course, libraries are also a great resource, and many offer one-time and recurring classes in coding, yoga, knitting, and more. Most importantly, keep tabs on our Event Calendar, where we curate the best local events with a heavy emphasis on FREE and inexpensive.

Park Slope's bustling Fifth Avenue welcomes another cafe to the area, and this one is distinctly different from our other favorite neighborhood eateries thanks to its extensive selection of board games. Sip N' Play, which opened January 2, brings a new board game cafe to this corner of Brooklyn.

So grab your favorite pint-sized foe and read on for all the details on this new addition to the city's board game cafe landscape.

Philadelphia's known for its culture, history and museums, and the Franklin Institute is no exception. Whether you're planning your first-time trip to this popular Philly destination or returning again to see what's new, check out this article to make the most of your day. 

So far this month, we've ushered in a new decade, taken a ride on an interactive art installation, and celebrated the news a Harry Potter megastore opens this summer. City kids have it pretty good but dare we say, the best is yet to come. Our 2020 calendar is already packed with epic kid-friendly openings.

We've scoured the five boroughs to pull together this list of the most anticipated kid-friendly fun on the horizon, and there's something for everyone. We're psyched to celebrate the 150th anniversary of two of our favorite museums and are excitedly anticipating new thrills at Coney Island's Luna Park. We're dreaming of hot summer days and cooling off at a sprawling new splash pad, and killing time until then by twirling on a sky-high ice rink that's already open.

Here are 16 can't-miss openings, premieres, celebrations, and must-do activities for New York City kids this year.
