[quote=Anonymous]We were just in nyc in April and again in June w/teen and ES age kids.  We did ESB in April which both my kids thought was cool. They have a nice interactive museum about the history of the building, etc. and the view is beautiful.  It's a good check the box activity, however compared to Top of the Rock, I think Rock is better. Has better views of Central Park and upper parts of Manhattan. Also, if your kids are into SNL and NBC, then do the studio tour and add that onto your observatory pass.  Did that when I was a teen and loved it.
The last time we visited, we walked the Brooklyn Bridge (from DUMBO into Manhattan--take subway to DUMBO and walk the bridge back so you get the views of the city). Kids loved it and the bridge is just so gorgeous. Since yours are older, I would def take them to the 9/11 memorial and/or museum if they would be into that. We also walked the HighLine while were there and my kids loved that and Hudson yards is nice--you can't go up the Vessel but it's a cool sculpture. 
We also quickly did the Met bc the younger one wanted to see the Egypt artifacts. We had free passes so we didn't feel like we had to spend all day there. The younger one was mildly into the artifacts, but honestly once you see one hieroglyphic you've seen them all. The temple room is pretty and nostalgic for anyone who likes When Harry Met Sally. The younger one wasn't so impressed. Skip it unless your kids are really into art then yes go. [/quote]
