Head to the city this weekend for a day of fun at Bryant Park.  This week marks the return of Le Carousel Kids, 6 weekends filled with carousel rides and entertaining kids shows at Le Carousel.

Each week, Flaubert Frog will take kids to exotic places such as Denmark where he'll read Hans Christian Anderson’s The Snow Queen or even the Appalachian Trail.  On Sundays, famed magicians including Ben Nemzer, will wow the crowds with amazingly magical performances.

All performances are FREE and will run from 2-3pm each weekend until a week before Christmas.  Be sure to check the weather forecast because shows may be cancelled due to inclement weather.  

Citi Pond, Bryant Park's outdoor skating rink also opened recently, so Suzy's family plans to make a day of it.  Skating at Citi Pond, riding Le Carrousel with the kids, browsing the Holiday Shops, and grabbing a much needed lunch break at one of the many food vendors on site.
