A few weeks ago I took my youngest niece and my daughter to The Bronx Zoo to check out the Dinosaur Safari. My niece is almost 3 and terrified of dinos, but once she sat on the hayride-looking tractor which took us to see the dinos, she changed her mind. She asks all the time to take her back to see the exhibit, and lucky for us the Bronx Zoo has decided to extend the Dinosaur Safari through November 3rd! There are over 20 animatronic creatures ...

Things To Do At The Bronx Zoo (August 2013)
Headed to the Bronx Zoo this month? Check out their list of events in August! There are lots of fun attractions to see and great events for the kids to get involved and have some fun.

My absolute favorite time of year to visit the Bronx Zoo is in October, when they have Boo at the Zoo and fall-themed activities for ...
A Day of Fun and Learning at the NY Aquarium!
You may have noticed the crickets here at A Time Out for Mommy.

A Visit to the newly reopened NY Aquarium #ConeyComeback
I have a good friend who recently moved to Belgium. One of the reasons I miss her most is because although she was a working mom she always took her two children on great adventures on the weekends. Luckily I was often invited along with my own three kids. Two years ago (when I only had my two boys), she introduced me to the NY Aquarium. I loved it, the kids loved it, and we had an amazing day inside the Aquarium, and enjoying the boardwalk. ...
