NYC to Niagara with kids

[carriekaye]

Hi!

We are planning approximately a week long summer road trip with our two young girls (one is an infant) to Niagara Falls from our NYC home.

We want to stop in Cooperstown for the Hall of Fame. We are looking for other stuff to do. My oldest daughter is four if that helps at all.

Any ideas are welcome!

Welcome to the RoadTrip America Forum!

The ride up to Cooperstown takes you through some beautiful country - the Catskills. Perhaps the young ones would like to stop at the Catskill Game Farm?

It has been my (limited) experience with traveling with infants that they tend to sleep much of the time.

If you're looking for a different type of drive than the Interstates, you can head up NY-28 and take US-20 West, which will take you by the Finger Lakes region, another nice area to visit (though I haven't been in 12 years). From there, I would cut back up to Interstate 90 as the traffic on US-20 approaching Buffalo most likely would be heavy and contain frequent traffic lights.

Thanks!

I like the concept of the Catskill Game Farm! Great tip! My infant definitely will sleep, it's the four year old that I would like to occupy!

i think the catskill game farm closed down several years ago. any other recommendations?
