Top Things to do in New York City with Teens

From Teresa Plowright, former About.com Guide

This venerable institution has unparalleled collections and is also just plain fun for any age. Highlights are: special exhibits (-whatever's on as a temporary exhibit is likely to be really well done); the Hayden Planetarium in the Rose Center for Earth and Space; and -- dinosaurs! Real, giant, dinosaur skeletons, many of them, and some you can even touch!

Plan on a long visit, and take a break at the kid-friendly restaurant on the lower floor.

Note: This museum is on the upper east side of Central Park-- another definite must-see for any visitor in New York. After you visit the Natural History Museum, take some time to walk through Central Park.
