Our last NYC Kids Learning and Fun Tour was for an entire family from Missouri. They were such a pleasant group of people and their girls (5-and-a-half, 3 and 1) were super sweet and adorable! Although the girls were a little young for the tour, they stayed very engaged and involved throughout the tour and asked a lot of questions.
They were very interested in learning about the carousel in Bryant Park and took lots of pictures. They were also very happy to know that Bryant Park was named after a poet (one of the little girls even enjoys writing songs.
In Times Square, they were pretty mesmerized by the crystal ball that drops on TV in front of billions of people every New Years. They also couldn't believe all of the advertisements on One Times Square today as opposed to how the building looked over a hundred years ago.
One of their favorite stops was Central Park, where they took part in their scavenger hunt and had a great time doing it. We climbed up the Overlook Rock with dad and waved to mom, grandma and grandpa from above. The girls wrote their names on the rocks with our sidewalk chalk and enjoyed taking a picture of their accomplishment. They also LOVED watching the ducks in Central Park and didn't understand why people were feeding them bread when we learned that the conservancy does not allow feeding of the wildlife.
Dylan's Candy Bar was a success, as usual. We had an amazing time playing the OLOGY game while mom, grandma and grandpa took a break in the upstairs cafe with the one-year-old, who didn't take part much in the tour, except she did love throwing the penny into the wishing well at Bryant Park!
Our last stop was Balto and the 5-and-a-half-year-old told me about the movie, Balto, that she had seen. The girls were both very excited to see the statue of him and take pictures of him.
At this point, the tour was coming to an end. We dropped the family off at the Gazillion Bubbles Show, where their dad told me they had an excellent time as well! Here's what the dad had to say about the tour:
"Once again thank you for your tour. The girls really enjoyed it. (My daughter) was wanting to go on the tour again and was asking when she could do that and (my other daughter) wanted to know where "Miss Tasha" was. They both have talked about the tour a lot. They also had a blast at the Gazillion Bubbles show too."
