The fact is, there's plenty of FREE fun for kids in New York City. But even top family attractions that charge entry fees, like museums, zoos and amusement parks, offer no-cost admission for children under certain ages. And those savings can really add up, especially when you have preschoolers.
So, inspired by a popular post on our Los Angeles site, we decided to make a list of when the freebies end for kids at New York City's best family destinations, from tourist hot spots like the Statue of Liberty to all of the children's museums. Yet another reason to wish that your children could stay young forever!
Note: The cut-off ages imply that once kids reach that age, they no longer qualify for free admission, and some places may ask for proof of age. Looking for a 100% FREE outing? Check out our roundup of no-cost admission hours at NYC museums.
