NYC Kids Tours and Freckleface Strawberry - SPECIAL PROMOTION!

Freckleface Strawberry was just like every other girl – except she had bright red hair and something worse…FRECKLES!

Now in the brand new family musical, Freckleface Strawberry, based on the beloved New York Times Best Selling book by celebrated actress Julianne Moore, you and your family can step inside the book’s pages with Freckleface and friends as they learn to love the skin they’re in. And what a story you’ll see!

Freckleface Strawberry will do anything to get rid of her freckles – from scrubbing them with soap, to caking on makeup, and even wearing a ski mask to school! Will her schoolmates realize it’s her under the mask? Will Freckleface be brave enough to finally face her complexion in the mirror?

With the help of her loveable schoolmates including an amazingly talented ballerina, a cutie jock, a charming ditz, and a totally kooky teacher, Freckleface learns that everyone is different ‐ and that’s what makes everyone special!

With soaring live music, awesome dancing… and a freckleface full of laughs, your whole family will love this brand new musical for all ages . . . freckles or not!

Use the code FSTRAW910 when purchasing tickets to get HALF OFF!

Project City Kids provides educational and recreational opportunities to kids who live in New York City.  The focus of these opportunities is to give kids an opportunity to experience New York Harbor.  Seeing the skyline from this new perspective personalizes the city and inspires kids.

PCK was founded in 1987 and has provided sailing and other harbor-related activities to thousands of kids.

Big Toot is a former US Navy launch.  Now she is owned and operated by Project City Kids.  Big Toot is based from North Cove Marina in Battery Park City, Lower Manhattan.  Every weekend from May through October, she goes out on short (50 minute) trips in the harbor.  Kids from all over New York City are invited down and can ride for free (adults pay $10).  This is your chance to see up close the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and all the great harbor activity!

Schedule: Big Toot operates on Saturdays and Sundays.  Big Toot departs from North Cove at 9 a.m., 10 a.m., 11 a.m., 1 p.m., 2 p.m., 3 p.m. and 4 p.m.  There is no departure at 12 noon because the Big Toot captain & mate get lunch from 12 noon to 1 p.m.

Length of Each Trip: The length of each ride is approximately 50 minutes.

Capacity: Each ride can hold a total of 34 passengers (kids and adults together)

Where to meet the boat: Big Toot departs from Dock F at North Cove.  For directions on how to get to North Cove, please visit www.sailmanhattan.com/Location%20North%20Cove.htm.

Costs:  All kids ride for free!  Tickets for adults are $10 each.  Fees from adults help pay for the free rides for kids.  Kids under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult.  Each adult may bring up to 6 kids.

Trip Route: Each trip begins at North Cove.  The you head out into New York Harbor and pass the "Honorable William Wall," Manhattan Sailing Club's floating clubhouse in the harbor.  Then you skirt along the eastern side of Ellis Island and pass the front of the Statue of Liberty.  Big Toot will pause at the Statue so everyone can get a good look and take their picture with the Statue in the background.  From here, Big Toot will continue along south side of Liberty State Park.  At the back of the channel there is a large turning basin which is also where the Operation Optimist kids sailing program takes place.  Then Big Toot will head back to North Cove.
