Kicking Off the Summer in NYC: Part II

Welcome back, friends! After our first day of welcoming summer by galavanting around New York City, we really kicked it up a notch for Memorial Day. Adventures included:

Tickets to the American Museum of Natural History (including the awesome Invisible Worlds exhibit and the Worlds Beyond Earth show at the planetarium). Keep in mind that tickets are still required in advance for timed entry, so check out the website before you head over.
Tea at Alice’s Tea Cup! (Our party was so large, we scored a private spot in their Raspberry room!)
A walk/play through Central Park
A walk through Rockefeller Center to the Top of the Rock NYC Observation Deck (timed ticket entry also required)

It was the sweetest of days with some of our besties <3

American Museum of Natural History

With so many amazing museums in NYC it can be hard to pick just one for kiddos, but I’m sure glad we went with this one. We only had time for our two extra experiences, the dinosaur exhibit and the Room With the Whale, but gosh was it worth it.

This Invisible Worlds exhibit was giving Meow Wolf vibes, but with a much better story and on a much more tame scale.

How small do your problems seem in an exhibit like this, though. I mean, really.

Dinosaurs were a huge hit too, obviously.

I wasn’t sure how the 30-minute planetarium show would go over, but the girls loved it! And Carla, Fiona & Jake were able to join us, too.

Alice’s Tea Cup

After the museum we walked over to Alice’s which, while thoroughly expensive (it was a full tea service that, let’s be honest, mostly got thrown out) was a true NY experience, as well. I’m really glad we did it!
