Children who patiently behave well through all sightseeing – many of it interesting for their parents only – deserve a reward. It’s Chelsea Piers time! Once defunct piers on the Hudson River, the piers have been transformed into a 27-acre riverfront sports complex that can be a welcome break.
Activities include a bowling alley and indoor ice skating in winter and a summer skate park. The Field House, which serves many leagues and classes, offers a selection of Drop-In Programs for its facilities between scheduled sessions. These include batting cages, soccer fields, basketball courts, a gymnastics area, and a rock wall. Children age 4 and under have their own indoor play area.
