Top Activities for Kids in June in the NYC Region

The temperature has finally risen, and the kids are getting ready to say goodbye to the school year. Summer has unofficially started, and the actual start of the new season is just around the corner. Start planning your early summer by mapping a trip to a nearby amusement park, beach, carousel, or day trip destination. It’s also strawberry season, which means there are lots of places to pick your own strawberries. Finally, don’t forget about Dad with a special Father’s Day event happening near you. There is something fun to do for the 95 days of summer, so what are you waiting for? Get out there and enjoy!
