Is Wall Street & Charging Bull worth it with kids?

DependsWith kids

With kids, it depends on the day.

The genuinely atmospheric part is the narrow canyon of Wall Street itself at early morning, before the crowds — the way the buildings squeeze the light, the columned NYSE and Federal Hall facades, the sense of standing in a slot between towers. The bronze bull near Bowling Green, by contrast, is a manufactured photo-op permanently ringed by a selfie scrum and smaller than people expect. Come early for the canyon streets and the history, skip the bull queue, and let the real payoff be the harbor and 9/11 sites a few blocks on.
