Traveling these days can be quite an expense ordeal, and traveling with children even more so.  Although popular family destinations such as Disneyland or Sea World, are offering special deals, nothing beats the special deals, that are actually free of cost. In New York, there are loads of free activities for children to partake in, and most of them if not all of them, are fun for the adults as well.  For a variety of free options head to The Audubon Center located in the heart of Prospect Park in Brooklyn. 

They offer regularly occurring, weekly activities that are fun as well as learning experiences, involving the outdoors, wildlife, interactive learning tools, and art.  Each Saturday from noon until 1:30, it is a session of birdwatching.  The tour involves the guided explanation and the search for glimpses of the more than two hundred and fifty different species indigenous to the region.  Similar to the birdwatching tour, is the Discover Tours.  This takes you through the natural habitat of the Meadow and the Ravine, and gives the little ones hands on experience with working with a set of binoculars.  A guided tour as well, the many sites on the park are explained the history of those sites revealed.  This tour takes place on both Saturday and Sunday, from 3pm to 4pm. 

The Science Power Hour is each weekend day from 1:30pm to 2:30pm.  A naturalist from the Audubon Center guides the kids through various fun science activities and projects.  And finally, again on both Saturday and Sunday from 1pm to 3pm it is the Nature Crafts program.  Here the kids will work on various art projects using natural elements and materials.  This class takes place in the boathouse, and as with the other activities, it is all free of charge.  So when you consider it all, you will have the financial freedom to go ahead a book your stay in a wonderful five star hotel.  New York City has so much to offer, and much of it offered for the children, is offered for free.
