Tucked into a small pocket park between buildings, you’ll find this gorgeous waterfall pathway.
The water feature is 20 feet tall and 40 feet wide, and is partially housed in plexiglass. The 17 foot-long glass tunnel runs beneath the waterfall, creating a water covered tubular path.
The sound from the water is soothing, and walking through the tube is exciting, especially for kids. (Bonus: the tube makes it easy to walk between 48th and 49th streets quickly!).
Only a block from Times Square’s bustling traffic, it’s a calming escape in the middle of Midtown Manhattan.
WHERE: 📍142 West 49th Street Between 6th and 7th Avenues
PRICE: 🎟Free & Open to the Public
WHERE TO NEXT: 🧭Check out the Gillie and Marc statues, Paparazzi Dogman and Paparazzi Doggirl, directly next to the waterfall (yes, you can climb them!).
GOOD TO KNOW: 📕There is limited table seating with umbrellas. A grab and go cafe is just down the path. Don’t follow google maps (the location is incorrect!). @nycgo #newyork #newyorkcity #reels #midtownmanhattan #reelsinstagram #MySecretNYC #waterfall #hiddennyc #secretnyc #freenyc #nyckids #citykids
49Headed to see Serena at the Open? Make plans to swing by this incredible Panorama, located just steps from the arena’s main entrance.
The Panorama of the City of New York is located at the Queens Museum, and known famously across the globe. The “helicopter tour of New York without the helicopter” was created as a celebration of the City’s infrastructure for the 1964 World’s Fair. Built by a team of more than 100 people over the course of three years, this MASSIVE metropolis comprises an area of over 9,335 square feet and built to a 1:1200 scale (where one inch equals 100 feet).
Each of the city’s 895,000 buildings (constructed prior to 1992) and every street, park and over 100 bridges are represented and assembled onto sections, comprising the 320 square miles of New York City.
Can you find Manhattan? It measures 70 x 15 feet (!!). The king of the skyline, the Empire State Building is a towering 15 inches tall while the Statue of Liberty is only 1-7/8 inches in height.
The panorama is outfitted with a lighting cycle that circulates from dawn to dusk to night. Other special effects include moving airplanes that take off and land at LaGuardia Airport every few minutes.
It’s truly spectacular and a fascinating visit for all ages.
WHERE: 📍Queens Museum - Flushing Meadows Corona Park Queens
TICKETS: 🎟Free entry! Reserve timed entry slots online.
GOOD TO KNOW: 📕You can own a pie
49Looking for a shady and cool place to relax in this heat? Head to this secret waterfall retreat. Greenacre Park is a hidden gem located in Midtown Manhattan. The privately owned/open to the public park has a 25-foot waterfall, ample multi-level seating, and thanks to trees and the neighboring buildings - its almost always shady (and cool!).
With a cafe onsite, its the perfect place to grab a bite. As the waterfall is tucked away and not easily visible from the street, its a fun surprise for little ones to learn of this “secret” waterfall in the city.
WHERE:📍51st Street, Between 2nd Avenue and 3rd Avenue
WHEN: ⏰Open daily 8am - 8pm
PRICE: 🎟 Free!
GOOD TO KNOW: 📕You cannot swim or play in the water. The grab-and-go Carol’s Cafe is located within the park; and offers smoothies, coffee, breakfast items such as French toast and eggs and lunch entrees. During the work week it gets busier during lunch rush times. Pets are not allowed. Unfortunately, there are no restrooms. @nycgo #newyork #newyorkcity #greenacrepark #reels #reelsinstagram #MySecretNYC #waterfall #hiddennyc #secretnyc #freenyc #nyckids #citykids
