[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I took 8&10 year olds for a week at spring break. We did several things mentioned above plus go karts and the aquarium. The tourist bus was a big hit. Super easy city to get around. We had a fun week.[/quote]

Can you recommend a hotel? Thanks [/quote]

We stayed at a Holiday Inn near the Visitor's Center but it looks like that hotel is either closed or has changed hands. It had a small outdoor pool (which kids enjoyed even though it was chilly) and kids >12 ate breakfast for free (awesome buffet plus cook-to-order food). Not the greatest area but it was one block from the free tourist bus and a couple of blocks from the Visitor's Center. More affordable than staying in the heart of downtown.

Oh, also, the Powder Museum was tiny but very interesting to both kids (b/g). There's a children's museum which we did not do because they were sort of aging out of that kind of thing. We went on a carriage ride and took walks through old cemeteries, hung out on the Battery, etc. The most challenging thing for me was dinner because restaurants seemed to be booked super far in advance and it was very, very busy at lunch time. We definitely did a lot of walking to find a place that was open and suitable for kids to eat (i.e., not super fancy or $$$$). That would be my advice if you're going -- try to plan out your days in advance so you can book lunch and dinner reservations.[/quote]
