Face to face with skyscrapers
In collaboration with Maison Slash, we've put together this parent-friendly trip to New York, because the Big Apple is a great source of entertainment for children of all ages.
New York is a dream for young and old alike, but discovering New York with children will be an unforgettable experience. Together with Belgian-American tour guide Patrick van Rosendaal (himself the father of two young children), we've created a parent-friendly city trip that will put smiles on the faces of the whole family. Soar to unparalleled heights in the city's newest skyscraper, sample the city's best ice cream, explore the birthplace of hip-hop and start your day with a great breakfast. New York, New York!
Patrick van Rosendaal and his family have happily undertaken this journey for you. You can read about their discoveries and tips below.

Patrick van Rosendaal
New York: A great play paradise
"A lot of people leave their children with their grandparents when they take a citytrip to New York, or they wait until their children are eighteen to explore the city together. It's a real shame, because if there's one city that offers a lot for children, it's New York. All museums offer child- and youth-friendly material, it's perfectly normal to take your child to a fancy restaurant, and if adults are already impressed by giant skyscrapers, imagine what it must be like for a child!
Don't forget the fantastic carousels you can find in New York, the calm of Central Park or the High Line in the heart of the city, the incredible playgrounds and toy stores in every neighborhood, or the boat rides you can take. In fact, New York is a huge play paradise, not just for adults, but for children too!
With this parentfriendly getaway to New York, you get the best of both worlds: many things are organized to perfection so you get the most out of your trip, but there's also plenty of free time to set off and discover this metropolis with your kids."
Since 2016, many parents have turned to Maison Slash for inspiration, stories and advice. Quite often, these families are looking for the coolest places to hang out with their kids. We offer them the inspiration they need, but now we're going one step further! In collaboration with Connections, we've created an itinerary in Morocco that's Maison Slash Approved.
But what does "Maison Slash Approved" mean? It means that this trip is entirely family-friendly. The icing on the cake: this trip would be just as enjoyable without the kids! Do you dream of going on a family adventure, but don't feel like organizing everything yourself? Then this parent-friendly package is just what you need!
