<<<Well no one would give you skates for free - how would they support the service?>>>

You could say the same thing for the rink itself, but it's free if you do have your own skates. Somebody's paying for it, and it's not the skaters.

I guess if someone doesn't want to pay the 14 bucks, they're cheap skates.

If you go to the Central Park Zoo make sure you see the clock go off (right outside the entrance). It's fun! They also have a great Tropical building. It's crazy in there and a great way to warm up.

In certain quarters of the city there are gay blades.

Museum of Natural History or Intrepid S,A&S Museum if we have to choose 1???

The Museum of Natural History is filled with wonders that have charmed and amazed children (and adults) for the longest time.

I think "GoState" has forgotten she asked us a question. :(

Ask the child: dinosaurs or airplanes?

The weather will affect it. Much of the Intrepid is outdoors and since it;s on the river it tends to be especially cold and windy. If the weather is bad the Museum is a better bet.
