KID-FRIENDLY FALL ACTIVITIES IN NYCThe leaves are turning and the apples couldn’t be sweeter! Fall is here and if New Yorker’s know one thing, it’s how to make the most of the season ahead! Time to take your scarves and hats out of storage, if you haven’t already, and bundle your little ones up for some of these awesome NYC activities.  Fall Forest Weekends at NY Botanical Garden Nov 4-12 Experience the colors of the season in the New York Botanical Garden's Thain Family Forest, a 50-acre thicket that boasts sweet gums, whose star-shaped leaves turn red and purple as autumn progresses, and tulip trees and hickories that display vivid golden yellows. During this annual series, gratis guided tours will point out seasonal foliage and birds, as well as offer free canoe trips, courtesy of the Bronx River Alliance. https://www.nybg.org/garden/forest/ Hudson River Foliage Cruise Weekends Oct 7 - Nov 11 Hop on board the Fall Foliage Cruise, and sail up the Hudson River where you can see the leaves at their finest. The boat takes off from Wall Street Port and sails up the tree-lined Hudson River, making a stop upstate at Croton-on-Hudson where you can all disembark and explore one of upstate New York’s most idyllic villages. Then hop back on board and return just in time to see the sunset over the city skyline. https://seastreak.com/tour-and-event-cruises/hudson-river-fall-foliage-cruise-with-cold-spring-ny-visit/ Holiday Market at Union Square Nov 16 - Dec 24 Take a trip to Union Sqare, where this year’s Holiday Market will be a winter destination like no other.
