It is winter break and time to be entertained and keep everyone busy. I have included some ideas that are "out of town" that would be so much fun. Some in NYC or NJ and some in W. Nyack, NY. I have experienced all of them and we had awesome and memorable experiences. (I have a seperate list of "close to home" ideas with discounts as well) My family actually stays over for a weekend, when we visit, to make sure we make sure everybody got to do all that they wanted to. It is an epic adventure all in one place!
