Things to do with kids in Jersey City

15 places

  1. 1. Times SquareThis bright, high-energy plaza is best for older children who can handle dense crowds and loud noise. Seating is limited to public tables, but the visual stimulation is unmatched. Plan for a short 30-minute walkthrough to see the lights and street performers.
  2. 2. The Metropolitan Museum of ArtThe vast halls here are ideal for school-aged kids, especially the Egyptian wing with its large temple and water feature. Staff are generally accustomed to families, though strollers are restricted in certain galleries. A typical visit lasts two to three hours.
  3. 3. Rockefeller CenterBest for kids ages five and up, this landmark offers plenty of open walking space throughout the plaza and observation decks. The sunken skating rink is a hit in winter. Expect to spend about 90 minutes here if you plan on going to the top.
