A few weeks ago, we shared our first-ever Go NYC List, a carefully curated roundup of the absolute best things to do with kids throughout the month, so families could plan ahead instead of scrambling to make an awesome event at the last minute. The response we got was truly amazing. Apparently a lot of our readers are very organized and enjoy filling up their calendars way in advance. Who knew?

For our February Go NYC List, we decided to make a few small changes. We're limiting our number of picks in order to really focus on experiences that sound exceptional. However, we will include links to a few runner-ups that almost made the cut, so you'll still have a wide variety of things to choose from for different interests and age ranges. Also, you'll be able to find important info like location and times in our individual event listings, so be sure to click through to see all the details.

Lastly, a gentle reminder: Really cool things to do with kids in NYC often get crowded, especially if they're free or general admission. Sometimes they even sell out or people get turned away at the door. So arrive early whenever possible to avoid disappointment and stress—we know you don't need anymore of that in your life.
