In New York, planning a child’s birthday party can be quite chaotic. And as my daughter gets older, planning a birthday party theme starts get a bit more interesting because you really need to engage the 10 and up set. So how do you keep tween age kids engaged for a couple of hours?
CitySights NY, offers an opportunity for kids to celebrate their special day with their friends or family, all together atop an iconic double-decker bus.
By allowing partygoers to view the wondrous sights New York City has to offer, 14 feet in the air, CitySights NY provides kids with both an exciting and educational birthday celebration.
During our CitySights NY, we wandered from Times Square up to Harlem and saw sights that we would not have seen otherwise.
Here are some the unique photos I captured during our ride.

Now of course, CitySights NY offers many different options that we did not partake like visiting Yankee Stadium and a boat ride (next time.) It might sound like a toursity thing to do but it’s a pretty unique opportunity for kids to partake in an activity reserved for out of town guests and why not have them to do it with their friends, so much cooler than doing with their family.
So if you are looking for a fun and unique idea for a child’s birthday party, definitely consider CitySights NY.
