While most New Yorkers have taken the Staten Island Ferry at least once, many only stepped foot in the borough because they were forced to disembark before the return ride. It's too bad because there are so many fun things for kids to do on Staten Island. Start to explore and you'll discover wonderful parks and beaches, a zoo, a children's museum and botanical garden, a minor league baseball team and lots of offbeat culture spots, including NYC's only living history museum, Historic Richmond Town.
