At one point, June 20, my article on our tour of New York City with two (8 - and 10-year-olds) great-grandchildren. I asked several times to e-mail, and we visited a number of other issues. limited to about 1,000 words, I with the most spectacular finds (and Start children's favorite, the American Museum of Natural History.
The first stop was just at the American Museum of Natural History. Many if not most of its manifestationspermanent enough to keep children (and many adults) enchants all day. If you stay in New Jersey, probably arrive about the time the museum opens its doors to 10A.
Fossils and Dinosaurs
The first thing you see when you enter the museum on Central Park West, is the giant Barosaurus - The tallest free-standing dinosaur mount in the world. There are still many others on this floor, but we wanted to start our tour at the fourth levelOrientation Center. There, we watched the film to introduce the fossil galleries. Children always want to see the fossils, but soon tired of them. Read more about them before you can see, not only educates, but allows them to enjoy the exhibits. We then visited the dinosaurs and other primitive animals.
Today, exhibitions of animals and dioramas
Next it was up to level 3, where all the birds are exposed. The display (stuffed birds actually realisticdisplayed in dioramas in their interiors, which are all behind large windows show) so realistic, you really think they take flight as you approach. Then we went very slowly through the Hall of Africa, where African animals displayed (even on those super realistic dioramas, huge elephant looked at the fire, and entered the Hayden Planetarium theater. It 'was a surprise for the children, we did not said, or we would have peace untilthey have seen.
Rose Show Space Center
The Rose Center's Space Show Disney does look primitive in comparison. Viewers travel to the outer edges of our universe, examining the various planets on their way. The exhibition is made possible through the largest virtual reality simulator in the world. If the show is over, it's time for lunch so that all the way down to the basement (where the entrance to the subway) and the museum's food court (as many of our largershopping centers). This is a welcome surprise after lunch, is about the subway entrance, a special coffee ice cream. You need their ice cream before going on, ready - without food or drink allowed in rooms.
Earth Ocean Life
We resisted the temptation to return to the RV park, so that children could take a nap. If they were tired (and all this has much to offer on foot, although the Planetarium and the lunch has some welcome breaks) were not ready to renton. So we went the first stage, toured the Ocean Life, with his whale almost 100 meters long hanging from the ceiling. As a teenager, I lived in New York in the early forties was, I practically lived in the museum (we were members). While it was exciting then, modern technology has increased the old emotions, breathtaking, simulations of real life. In the Hall of Ocean Life, for example, seem completely immersed videos, children in the marine environment. The first stage has aseveral days Many of these presentations, stable, but we only had one, this time it might.
Sea Monsters IMAX theater
Out last stop was the IMAX theater. It may have been one of the IMAX Theater - are all over the country - and sees in this spectacular presentations to 360 degrees. You can imagine the effect on a eight-year-old and a 10-year-old.
Along the way we stopped outside the museum in the tourism sector at 1 and bought two DVDs.These were children employed in the camper, or if you suffer from boredom.
DVD Player: Blessing in Disguise
Note to the ceiling mounted DVD player. We do not like children in the fifth Cycling during the trip, unless my wife is there with them. Kids get fast riding in the back seat of the Ford Quad Cab, so we had to install a DVD player 10 "in the middle of the ceiling could be seen from the boring back seat. The sound ison the back and keep the low level is not too disturbing for us in the front seat. The player will cost us less than $ 400 installed and we established that this is a good investment. It is almost eliminated, "... we are there yet?" Choirs from the backseat.
