Everyone knows about New York City's most popular attractions, but here are some activities you might not think about doing on your NYC (New York City) vacation.
Surprise yourself with some great things to do in New York City.
Fly on a Trapeze
Looking for something thrilling to do while you visit New York City? For over ten years, Trapeze School New York has been teaching people how to fly on the trapeze. Their beginner classes last two hours and cost $50－70, plus one－time $22 registration fee. From April to October, their outdoor location on the Hudson River offers a spectacular setting for the experience, but they also have an indoor location that is open year－round.
Learn to Surf
Rockaway Beach is a popular destination for East Coast surfers, but even if you've never surfed, there are plenty of folks happy to teach you at Rockaway Beach. Locals Surf School offers two－hour group lessons starting at $80, including all the vehicles you need. Frank from Rockaway Beach also offers surfing lessons.
Make Wine
Making wine might not be the first thing you think of when you visit New York City, but New York City is actually home to two different urban wineries! City Winery offers a variety of programs where you can make your own wine. To take full advantage of these packages, you'll need to come to the winery several times, so it's a good choice if you travel to NYC often or live nearby. At Brooklyn Winery, you can tour their 8,000－square－foot winery or book a private blending session where you can play a winemaker for a day.
Get Kissed by a Sea Lion
Sign up for a Sea Lion Encounter at the New York Aquarium, and you'll have a chance to get up close and personal with the Sea Lions after the show. After a short orientation, participants will each get a chance to pose for a photo and get a kiss from a sea lion. Sea Lion Encounters cost $20 and are offered after Sea Lion Celebration shows. Participants must be at least 5 years old, and those who're 5－7 years old must be held by their parents/caregivers during any animal interaction (互动)．
Experience Fall Leaves
Although New York City doesn't have as many colorful leaves as New England, there are still some great ways to enjoy the changing leaves during a fall visit to New York City, both in the city and beyond. Whether you want to walk around one of New York City's great parks or take a fall leaves sightseeing cruise up the Hudson River, you can get a taste of the beautiful fall colors when you visit New York City.
