New York City Kids Visitors Guide
Mommy Poppins is the ultimate insider's guide to NYC for local families, but that also makes us an awesome resource for travelers. This guide will help you plan your trip to enjoy New York City like natives.
You'll want to hit the big NYC tourist attractions, sure—see our restaurant suggestions for the best local food options nearby—but the real way to experience New York City is to explore our lively neighborhoods.
Make sure to check our Event Calendar to see what's going on while you're here and our Museum Guide for current exhibit reviews. Even better, subscribe to our newsletters so you can plan your visit and stay up-to-date on the coolest happenings.
