going to new york in the fall. For 10 glorious days.
with 2 teenage boys. science museum looks good to me. Any other suggestions
many thanks
10 days with male teenagersMy son loved riding the subway, walking the Brooklyn Bridge, going to the Statue of Liberty, and visiting the Adias and Urban Outfitters stores. He also liked hanging out in Washington Square Park and watching the guys play basketball at the Cage. Also, your sons may enjoy checking out Toys R Us in Time Square. It%26#39;s worth a look just to see the giant Lego displays. Honestly, just being there is a super adventure! Have a great trip!
10 days with male teenagersThat are the boy%26#39;s ages and exactly when will you be here?
Wow, 10 days! You%26#39;re all lucky! good for you!
If you%26#39;re referring to the Queens Hall of Sciencse, I%26#39;d skip that. It%26#39;s primarily for younger kids.
But, if you%26#39;re talking about the american Museum of Natural History, that will be a great choice for everyone! See the dinosaurs, gems, fossils and taxideremd animals!
Here%26#39;s a collection of trip reports by families with teens. Most were first-time vistiors. The earlier ones are from winter of last year. Great ideas!

I%26#39;d highly reco seeing a Browadway show, such as Spelling Bee, Wicked, Rent, Spamalot or maybe even The Producers? Depends on their ages and tastes.
Get discounted same-day tickets at our TKTS booths (cash only), or, for really popular shows such as Wicked, buy in advance using discount codes from www.Broadwaybox.com

What else do they like? Sports, shopping, sci fi, history, theatre, live music?????
thanks so much for your input.
My boys - well 1st will be 17yrs on vacation and 2nd is nearly 13yrs. they like history sci fi and live music. My husband is much the same. As far as sport is concerned what is the best method of obstaining tickets. we are going 15th to the 25th of october.

If they like sci fi, take them to Forbidden Planet, one of the best comic/sci fi stores around. Located just south of Union Square, on Broadway and 13th Street.
