I’m a toddler mom in Manhattan. This list is focused on free or low-cost toddler activities.
A few tips:
1. New York residents can pay-as-you wish to enter many museums. Visitors from out of state will pay regular entry prices. Children under 3 are free at many museums.
2. Most of these locations are on subways stops that might not have elevators. Make sure to bring a lightweight stroller that you can fold down if necessary.
3. Regarding public transit: I actually prefer taking buses to subways when possible. You will need to fold your stroller down to get on but you will avoid all of the stairs in the subway stations.
4. If you are out walking around and need a restroom, walk confidently into a hotel and find their lobby restroom.
