Tenement Museum, New York City

Taking your family out for trips are always a wonderful thing and at the same time, you can enjoy some really good quality time together. If you are thinking of bringing your family for a different kind of outing over this weekend, we would suggest that you hire a New York City coach and take all of them to the Tenement Museum at 103 Orchard Street, Lower East Side, New York City and have a quiet and meaningful tour at the Tenement Museum. This will be quite a different kind of museum that you probably have ever taken your family to and it will be one that you and your family members will always remember – because of the uniqueness of the museum.

Arriving at the Tenement Museum in a New York City charter bus, you will soon notice that it is an actual tenement, not some kind of building that was built to house the exhibits of life in a tenement. At the museum, you can choose one out of three types of tours that they offer, or if you like, you can take up all the three tours. An alternative would be that each of your family members (that is, if you have three or more on the trip) take on different tours and then share your experiences after you finish the tours. That way, it makes the trip more fun and exciting, right?

From walking around the museum and seeing the exhibits on display that tells you of the lives of the immigrants who lived there to exploring how it was for them to earn a living and staying in the tenement to meeting guides who are dressed up as one of the immigrants and telling you stories of how life is for them – there is something interesting for everyone to learn and watch as you tour the Tenement Museum. New York City charter bus passengers will enjoy the tours offered at the Tenement Museum – simply because the guides are well trained, very knowledgeable and filled with excitement as they share with you the history and the stories of the life of the immigrants there that you can literally “feel” their passion. If you are visiting the museum any time during summer, it is best to dress lightly and if you have a handheld portable fan do bring it along as the museum is not air conditioned, hence it can get quite hot inside while you are touring the place.

And if you get thirsty and hungry after the tours at the Tenement Museum, you can always hop on back to your New York City bus and ask the bus driver to bring you and your family to the nearest restaurant. They do have quite some good choices of restaurants for you to enjoy a good meal after an enjoyable time at the museum.
