Grab the kids and make a beeline for the Long Island Aquarium. Only a couple of hours from LGA, the Long Island Aquarium is home to one of the largest living coral reef foundations in the Northern Hemisphere. Your whole family will marvel at the 120,000-gallon shark tank and the year-round sea lion shows.
The aquarium isn’t just a place to look at the fish. There are numerous touch tanks where children and adults can learn about the importance of marine life and our impact on the environment. With more than 100 different exhibits, there is no shortage of fun things to do and see.
A trip to New York wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the world-famous Niagara Falls. It’s a bit of a drive from New York City, but it’s worth it. Stay on the U.S. side or make your trip international and venture over to the Canadian side (just don’t forget your passport). The great thing about this drive is everything you can see on the way like Ithaca, New York and the Hudson River Valley.
