Some parents might choose to take their children to Adventure Land or Great Adventure, but near a secluded oasis of trees, daffodils, and lilies, tucked away in Central Park, exists an amusement park named Victoria Gardens. This place is a special treasure for my kids, Clara (age 6) and Rebecca (age 11). Enter the Park at 59th and 5th and follow the path north to 60th. The music and laughter will help lead you there. Rebecca and Clara loved the rides, sometimes riding on the same ride three or four times. For $22.oo you will get an all day pass. Stay in the amusement park for an hour or so then go and explore Central Park and come back later. Don't forget to get your hand stamped for reentry. After you leave the amusement park, there are some fun things to do in Central Park.
In the 60's, right near Victoria Gardens, there are some great rocks and trees for climbing that your kids will be sure to enjoy. Clara and Rebecca loved running around in Central Park looking for rocks and trees to climb. The taller the better. After you finish rock climbing, you might find it the perfect time to head back to Victoria Gardens for more rides.
There are so many great places to go to eat near Central Park and I'm sure your kids will be saying the infamous '"I'm Hungry" right about now. Shun Lee is conveniently located right outside of Central Park. Just leave the park around 65th and Central Park West. Walk on 65th on the North side of the street and you should see Shun Lee at 43 West 65th street. Shun Lee has cool carts that come around with a variety of dim sum, my kids loved the shrimp with chives. The lights on the ceiling and walls (see picture above) are in the shape of all the animals represented in the Chinese calendar. I hope you enjoy your day as much as we did!
