Times Square

City Half day difficulty: Easy with kids: yes

The most brightly lit crossroads in the world: giant screens from floor to sky, a constant river of people and light even at midnight. It's overwhelming at first and then it hooks you; it's New York at full volume.

The pop wink

At the end of «Spider-Man: Far From Home», the whole world discovers Peter Parker's identity on the giant screens of Times Square. Your son can stand right where that news appears and look up at the very same billboards.

With kids

Finding and counting how many giant screens you can see in a single glance
Standing in the middle of the crossroads and feeling the city spin around you
Finding the lit-up red staircase and sitting down to watch the crowd
Recognizing the billboard where the world discovers Spider-Man in the movie

Accessibility: All ages; hold hands through the crowds and watch out for the costumed characters who charge for photos

With family

Coming at night, when the lights turn the street into broad daylight
Seeing a Broadway show a few steps from the square
Taking the family photo with the sea of screens behind you
Comparing as a family the noise and light with your own quiet town back home
