I started this blog with one daughter, kept it up with the other, to spend time together doing something we enjoyed.
However, things change and people evolve. My daughters are older, busier, and not as interested in writing.
From now on this blog will be mostly mom with occasional contributions from my daughters and maybe even my husband.
Nothing else will change. We'll still focus on sharing fun places to go, fun things to do, and more, and we would  still love to hear your views too

Fun Things to Do in Central Park

Central Park is not only the biggest park in New York City. It is one of the biggest parks in the world. There is so much to do in Central Park. Here are just a few ideas.


Me - Here are five fun things to do.


1) Visit the Zoo - There are two parts to the zoo, the Tisch Children's zoo and the main part of the zoo. Both are small but fun.

2) Take a tour - There are a bunch of different tours that take place at different times, in different locations, and in different seasons. At any time of the year, there are always tours going on. Many Central Park tours require a fee if you want to take them, but the Central Park Conservancy does have some tours that are free.


3) Take a Ride - There are horse and carriages and pedicabs offering tours of the park. You can also take a boat ride. Any of these will cost money.

4) Look at Nature - No matter what time of year you can see different types of plants and flowers and animals too. The park looks beautiful every season even when it's snow-covered.


5) Take a walk - Central Park is a great place to take a walk. However, be careful if you are not very familiar with it. It's very easy to get lost in. Make sure you have a map or a compass or a way to find your way.

Mom - Here are five more fun things to do.

6) Play Sports - There are organized fields like baseball fields, or you can just bring a ball and/or equipment of your own and play.


7) Play games - There is a chess and checkers house or you can just bring your own games.

8) Ride a bike  - You can rent a bike or bring your own. There are even bike tours.


9) See a show - The Swedish Cottage has Marionette shows and in the summer there is Shakespeare in the park at the Delacorte Theatre.

10)  Just Relax - Central Park is also a great place to just sit or lie in the grass or on a giant rock and chill.

And that's our view. What do you like to do in Central Park or any park?

Tune in tomorrow for Tips for Tuesday.
