If you’re taking your kids to the Big Apple, you certainly want to make sure they get the most out of their experience. With a city so huge, it’s easy to get overwhelmed with choices of attractions.

We’d recommend Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museum, the Top of the Rock Observation Deck for stunning 360 degree views of the city, and the Bike & Roll Rental to see the sights by bicycle!

To help you out, Budget Travel has compiled a list of 15 Places Every Kid Should See for their family travel handbook. Their choices are a bit out of the ordinary from what you might expect, but they’ve got plenty of good reasons for their choices. For NYC, they’ve included the Ellis Island Museum, saying “About 40 percent of Americans are descended from someone who immigrated through this station. Visiting is a powerful experience.” Ground Zero is also included on the list, encouraging families to visit and see the WTC Tribute Center.
