There's a kid-approved destination that has caused quite a buzz amongst the city's littlest residents (and their parents).
Enter NYC Fun Zone—one of Manhattan's newest play spaces that made its grand debut in late March. The sweet, whimsical venue offers something for all its visitors. As youngsters enter a different-colored pastel area, the options abound. Classes vary and include offerings such as music, yoga, dance—you name it. Should your tyke be more interested in exploring the space's toys, there are train tracks, play kitchens and mats for climbing.

In order for your crew to enjoy a day of playing and mingling with others, parents just need to drop the kids off. NYC Fun Zone is open during the week from 9am–5pm and costs $25 per child and $15 per additional attendee. Classes are $35 online and $40 for those who drop in.
But the fun and adventure doesn't stop with daily activities. Those who have a big day coming up can celebrate their birthday with a few party package options that allow your tiny tykes to run wild with their friends. Even better? The venue's backyard is set to open just in time for the summer, which will surely make this spot all the more desirable.
Get ready for a fun afternoon at your kids' new favorite hangout.
