Some New York neighborhoods have a ton of fun places to visit and explore with kids, so we’ve decided to put together some neighborhood guides. This time it’s all about DUMBO and Brooklyn Bridge Park. Just a quick hop, step and jump across the river and you have landed in a kid’s (and babysitter’s!) dreamland. Along the riverfront there is a constant array of kid-friendly things to do, many of them free. There are casual restaurants and cafes and more ice cream places than we care to mention. This guide really does just scratch the surface and sums up a few of our greatest hits.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”20″][vc_column_text]Pick your favorite horse and take a ride on Jane’s Carousel.
