Looking for fun activities, here a few that should keep you occupied over Spring Break and after.
Japan Village at Industry City (Brooklyn) is a 70,000-square-foot, one-stop Japanese marketplace that truly feels like stepping into Tokyo. You can browse authentic specialty shops (like the first-ever U.S. location of Bandai Namco Cross Store), explore a Japanese grocery stocked with hard-to-find snacks and treats, try different types of ramen and sushi and even participate in cultural workshops and pop-up events.
Japan Village is situated within Industry City, a 6 million-square-foot campus in Sunset Park that features an endless variety of experience-driven dining, design retail and other interactive destinations like Crea Interactivity– an immersive play space for children.
Horseback Riding at City Island Stables (Bronx) offers guided horseback rides through scenic Bronx trails, giving families the feeling of a countryside escape without ever leaving NYC. Riders of all ages and skill levels can enjoy time at the stables, explore nature and experience something atypical for a city kid – a great adventure for families craving outdoor activity as the weather starts to warm up.
The Met Cloisters (Manhattan) is perched on a hill in Fort Tryon Park and transports visitors into medieval Europe with stone archways, monastery courtyards and centuries-old tapestries and tranquil cloistered gardens sourced from France and Spain. Families can wander castle-like halls, discover suits of armor and manuscripts and explore the gardens– offering an immersive cultural experience that feels worlds away from Midtown.
