Alice in Wonderland

Don't fret if the kiddies climb all over this bronze statue of Alice and company—that's what it's there for. Dedicated to the children of NYC and commissioned by George Delacorte after the passing of his wife, who enjoyed reading Alice to their children, the larger-than-life figures have been explored by children since 1959. Relive your youth and join them on the mushroom, or if you can't let go, read the engraved verses of the poem "Jabberwocky," by Alice scribe Lewis Carroll, portions of which line the sculpture. East side at 75th St, enter at Fifth Ave and 76th St

We're mega-fans of NYC museums of course, with their constant stream of fresh exhibitions that cater to our little ones. But we also relish the city's outdoor art, including everything from massive sculptures to interactive installations, scattered throughout Gotham. They get you and your family out into the sunshine and fresh air, and there's no admission fee! Here are ten installations to visit with the kids—you might even want to sign them up for some art classes for kids to channel their newfound inspiration! And if the weather doesn't cooperate, there are always free museum days to keep them busy indoors.
