紐約市家庭旅遊創意

開始紐約市家庭旅遊最完美的方式，就是登上這座傳奇建築的最頂層。 前往 Empire State Building 的 86 樓，您可以在超過 1,000 英尺的高空俯瞰周圍令人驚嘆的城市全景。 這裡絕對是拍攝絕美 Instagram 照的完美地點。 在上樓的途中，別忘了拍幾張華麗的裝飾藝術風格大廳照片！

The lazy/smart parent’s approach to NYC sightseeing, New York’s Big Bus sightseeing tour ticks off several dozen bona fide Big Apple icons without you having to lift so much as a finger. Kick back and relax as your little darlings ooh and aah at Times Square, Central Park, Museum Mile, the Brooklyn Bridge and, way out there in the bay, Lady Liberty herself. Well, when they’re not staring at cat videos on their phones that is. There are Uptown and Downtown loops, each lasting around 90 minutes all in, and each equipped with a fun pre-recorded commentary. Best of all, you can hop on and off the bus as frequently as your family’s curiosity and/or hunger demands.

造訪紐約，絕不能錯過親眼目睹自由女神像的機會。 Take the ferry out to Liberty Island 即可參觀這座最具代表性的雕像並探索周邊區域。 您也可以選擇升級門票，參觀基座或皇冠（僅限直接向國家公園預購的門票）。接著，繼續前往艾利斯島，參觀引人入勝且發人深省的移民博物館。

身為全球規模最大的自然史博物館之一，位於紐約的 American Museum of Natural History 是家庭遊客的必訪之地。 這裡是當地學校校外教學的首選，除了令人驚嘆的展覽，還提供豐富的教育機會。 該館以恐龍化石和米爾斯坦海洋生物館（Milstein Hall of Ocean Life）聞名，此外還有令人印象深刻的礦物與寶石珍藏、動物標本模型等。

Sure, NYC might be on entirely the other side of the country from Hollywood, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get your A-list fix here. Just follow the bright lights to Times Square, where Madame Tussauds joins the party with a whole host of pop singers, movie stars, politicians, dignitaries and sporting legends. Oh, and maybe even the occasional scary clown. We’re talking waxy surrogates of the likes of Tom Cruise, Timothée Chalamet, Gaga, Mariah, Zendaya and Kobe Bryant, to name just a few. Grab a selfie or seven and stick around to say hey to Thor, Iron Man, Spidey and pals in the Marvel Hall of Heroes and come face to grinning face with horror icon Pennywise the clown… if you dare.

Bonus: if the Marvel Hall of Heroes wowed your crew, they might also get a (Black Widow cyclone) kick out of this Marvel and DC heroes walking tour of NYC – it’s led by a genuine comics expert!

簡而言之，這是世界上最偉大的藝術博物館之一。 對於對藝術、建築、設計和歷史感興趣的家庭來說，大都會藝術博物館（The Met）是一個絕佳去處。 館內充滿了來自全球各地且橫跨數千年的精美藝術品，令人啟發。 您可以先從館內精彩絕倫的古埃及藝術品與文物收藏開始參觀。 接著探索館內的中古世紀藝術。 盡情欣賞館內的歐洲雕塑與裝飾藝術。 別忘了還有館藏豐富的美國繪畫收藏！

Most families could probably while away their entire vacation exploring Central Park’s 843 acres and its many, many attractions. From the old-school painted carousel and zoo at the southern end to picture-perfect boating lakes, swoonsome bridges, monumental Gothic Revival terraces and even a fairytale castle, the whole place is basically catnip for your Instagram-obsessed tweens. Our tip? Take a guided cycling tour to hit the highlights and get your bearings, then come back later in your trip (armed with a massive family picnic, natch) to take a deeper dive into the park landmarks that interested you most. You can rent bikes or scooters to cover more ground. 

Check out our guide to all the great things you can do in Central Park.

Similarly primed for brightening up your socials, Times Square is something of a sensory overload, but definitely something you’ll want to tick off, especially if it’s your first time in town. Soak up the atmos and grab selfies with Mickey and Spidey (though be aware they’ll expect a generous tip) before ducking into one of the cool neighborhood museums. We’ve already covered Madame Tussauds, but you can also take your troupe to the all-singing, all-dancing Museum of Broadway, or dip into NYC’s cultural landscape at RiseNY with its weird and wonderful exhibits (Cardi B’s bodysuit, anyone?) and thrill-a-second simulated ride over Manhattan’s rooftops. And, when it all gets too much, just duck into one of the many, many eateries for lunch and a reset (Los Tacos No.1 is a classic crowd pleaser).

Later, musical-mad crews make a beeline for Broadway, where show options run the gamut from hard-hitting theatrical drama to uplifting family musicals like Wicked, Hamilton and The Lion King.

另一個深受家庭遊客歡迎的景點是 Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum。 這間綜合性機構專注於特定領域，並將其發展得極致出色。 在這座令人驚嘆的博物館中，您可以全方位了解美國在海上、空中及太空旅行的歷史。 這裡兼具教育意義與娛樂性，非常適合各個年齡層的遊客。 現在，您的 Go City® New York pass 也包含太空梭展館 (Space Shuttle Pavilion) 的門票，館內展示了 Enterprise 號，這是一艘開創 NASA 早期太空飛行計畫先河的艦艇。

Way down at the bottom of Brooklyn, Coney Island is an absolute mecca for families or, indeed, just anyone on the lookout for the kind of all-American fairground thrills and cotton-candy spills you’ve only ever seen in the movies. Luna Park is where it’s at for those classic old-school seaside vibes, with its century-old wooden coasters, old-school shooting galleries and nostalgic arcade games. 

Then there’s Deno’s Wonder Wheel, for slightly less white-knuckle views along Coney’s three miles of golden beaches. Afterwards, treat the gang to an ice-cream or one of Nathan’s Famous Hot Dogs, then take to the boardwalk for some of the best people-watching fun in New York State.

即使您不是「條紋軍團」的粉絲，您也不得不承認，參觀洋基體育場對各地的體育迷來說都是一個絕佳的機會。 雖然這不是最初的那座歷史體育場，但這座新建築在球場界依然令人印象深刻。 深入幕後探索球場最重要的區域，從豪華包廂到洋基博物館 (Yankees Museum) 應有盡有。 儘管體育場是新建的，但館內仍保留了對洋基隊過去偉大球星的致敬，以及對球團歷史傳統的傳承。 何不購買一張球賽門票？ 留意轉售網站上的優惠，以獲得最佳價值。

雖然紐約不像聖塔莫尼卡那樣是典型的海濱小鎮，但它在水岸景觀方面的實力絕對足以為您提供一場精彩的海上冒險。 登上充滿歷史氣息的 Clipper City Tall Ship，享受獨特且終身難忘的體驗。 這艘雄偉的雙桅帆船經過修復，重現了 1854 年原始船隻的設計與氛圍。如今，乘坐這艘令人驚嘆的船隻航行於紐約水域，絕對是一件奇妙的事。
