Wife is away this weekend and looking for fun things to do with my daughter.
Thinking about Liberty Science Center. My daughters been before and loves it. Never been with her though.
Strap that kid into the chest baby carrier and drink 1 pint at every bar in downtown.
If you have a bike, and something to keep your daughter safe in, it should be a nice late afternoon Saturday for a ride around Liberty State Park.
At that age she'll just love being with dad. Walk on the waterfront if it's nice or even a walk around Target if it's raining.
If you have a car then Staten Island Children's Museum or the Staten Island Zoo. Both small scale perfect for a toddler, unlike LSC where 90% is way over her head. The zoo exhibits range from petting zoo to a world class reptile collection. Most people here don't realise how close Staten Island is by car.
My daughter, thrilled to see the 3 Little Pigs at the SI zoo!
We love that museum! Small, a bit retro but feels homey.:)
LSC has redone their second floor now (not sure how long it’s been since you went) and it is very cute and fun. I’d say a lot of LSC appeal for younger kids, (I took my nanny kid starting from age 14 months), Is fun in the way everything is fun for them: everything is brand new, interesting, exciting. Not necessarily because they care about how trains work or how honey is made but cuz hey… it’s fun to look at a glass pane full of bees
Ok, I admit that it's been a while, my younger is a college Junior! But we always found 'children's museums' better than LSC until they were at least preteens.
If you’ve never been then go!
Pro tip it’s free with b of a card on first weekend of month, which is this weekend
I got my kids bank cards for that lol.
Also take her on the light rail it will be fun for her
Sorry, it’s free with what?
Bank of America card
Woah, did not know, thanks. Is it a one time thing or age limited?

It’s every month, first full weekend of the month. Many museums are included, free admission for the card holder. All over the country. So many in nyc and jersey
Your kids don’t get in free if they don’t have a bank card. But still two adults free is great, and like I said I got my kids bank cards by adding them on an account and they get in free now.
Potential savings of hundreds of dollars if you utilize it monthly.
Free LSC is great
Thank you!! I wish I knew this ages ago
I know it’s such a cool thing and not well known
Hudson House of Play up in West New York is fun for kids of that age. It's not far from the light rail either!
Not sure how many of these are still going to happen if it rains but there’s a bunch of Easter activities going on which would be fun!

LSC is great for a rainy day and there’s a really good interactive play area for the little ones.
At 20 months? Pretty much anything. Ride the light rail, take a ferry or two. Science Center is good, there are a few children's play center arounds, but the playground at Newport Green is cool, with a nice view of the city.
Go look at birds or in the wild area of Lincoln Park., or just kick a ball around with her.
Turtle Back zoo in West Orange
Check out funzy. It’s an indoor playground in Newport. Call before going as they close down for birthday parties.
It’s so filthy there now though…
Children's Museum of Manhattan is cool though maybe geared to older kids https://cmom.org/
Central Park Zoo
Zep Hall if weathers nice
What’s 20 divided by 12 ?
So, a 13 month old is 1. You would also say a 23 month old is 1. The developmental difference between a baby who just turned 1 and is about to turn 2 is MASSIVE and absolutely changes what types of activities will be available/fun for them.

What the
OP said 20 months not 20 yrs old.
Staying local? Not much options.
American Dream Mall is open….
