New York Boat Show at the Javits Center

While parents might be content to peruse the boat selection of more than 350 craft at this annual event, younger attendees can enjoy life pretending to be on the high seas. Little skippers can participate in the Kids' Build-a-Boat—not only do they get to climb aboard ships and play captain, they can creating nautical masterpieces inspired by the show. Don't forget to take a picture from behind the helm! All ages.
