Lets Party New York

If you and the family are in New York City for the holidays, then skating at the Ice Skating Rink at Rockefeller Center is a must. This is one of the nation's most magical places and family time here will be a memorable and special experience. After the family is done skating, explore the attractions that surround Rockefeller Center.

Hang out at the Staten Island Zoo to see cool animal attractions like the Serpentarium, an exhibit that houses one of the nation's largest rattlesnake collections. There are around 858 animals that live at the zoo, including its most famous resident, Staten Island Chuck, the city's official Groundhog Day forecaster.

The Lower East Side Tenement National Historic Site is a five-story brick apartment building that was home to an estimated 7,000 people, from over 20 countries, between 1863 and 1935. Now a National Historic Landmark, the museum offers tours of restored apartments that paint a picture of the life of an immigrant. The Tenement Museum promotes tolerance and historical perspective on the immigrant experience.
