Despite common misconceptions, it is quite possible to enjoy
many of the great things that New York City
has to offer even on a rather modest vacation budget. It is important to
remember when planning your vacation that your budget is often the most
important deciding factor as far as which activities should or should not be
included in your families plans.
The beauty is that you can still present many fun and
wonderful options to your family while following a rather strictest of budgets.
First of all, if you pay for your lodging ahead of time that is one worry you
won't have during your stay. Finding a hotel room that has microwaves and
refrigerators can go a long way towards limiting expenses. You can also save
money by filling your bottles with waters at your hotel rather than purchasing
new water bottles, bringing snacks from home for the kiddies, and eating at
nice restaurants that offer lunch menus at lunchtime and hitting less expensive
or fast food restaurants in the evening. This paragraph is sponsored by air travel to Harare from

Another thing to remember is that you do not need to
purchase every photograph that is taken of your children while in New
York. Consider carefully which photograph will be the
most meaningful to your child years from now and let that be the photograph you
purchase. Use your camera to record other memories of your time in New
York for a fraction of the cost. Be sure to bring
plenty of extra film (if you're still using a camera that requires film) and
batteries with you from home, as these are likely to be more expensive to
replace in New York.
Other great money saving ideas for your time in New
York would be to purchase The New York Pass. It may
seem rather expensive but you can purchase a 3 or 7-day pass that will actually
grant you free admission to many area attractions. You will easily make up your
investment if you were planning to visit the attractions that this provides free
admission to. You will find wide selections of museums and zoos are offered as
well as discounts in some of the gift stores. This paragraph is sponsored by world tour guide from UK.
New York is a
great city in which to shop. It's not such a great city in which to shop on a
budget. If shopping presents too great of a temptation for you avoid it. While
there are some wonderful and interesting shops to see and experience if you
can't go in and out without spending money, then it would be in the best
interest of your vacation budget to skip them all together. If you can resist
the temptation there are many malls and stores that offer not only delightful
merchandise but are also a sight to behold in and of themselves.
If you have children there are many activities for children
that are available for free in and around the city. Search the Internet while
in the planning phases and I'm sure you'll find many activities that you can
all enjoy as a family that fit into the fabulous freebie category. Many of the
museums in the city also offer free admission on certain days of the week or at
certain times. Other museums offer a pay what you will type of admission so
that no one is actually turned away from the wonderful experience that awaits
them inside. This paragraph is sponsored by Bulawayo tour

New York City
also has many national parks, some of which have profound historical
significance. The admission to these national parks, including the Statue of
Liberty is absolutely free and the family can enjoy their time there as well as
gaining a profound sense of history in the process.
No matter what your budget, you can afford to have a good time
in New York City if you take the
time to carefully plan the events you will and will not participate in based on
your budget. Keep in mind to allow for a few really nice events and reward
yourself for being so budget conscious throughout your trip. It is a vacation
after all, even if you are limited to expenses. This paragraph is sponsored by Victoria
