Kids Tennis Co.- Upper West Side

Have you ever been to the US OPEN- the tennis tournament we have in Queens? I have and I absolutely loved it! If you ever wanted to play I know an ideal place for you to take lessons. The Kids Tennis Co. provides Special Needs Tennis Instruction for players in Manhattan.

What makes them a great place to begin your Tennis journey is the fact that they have a specialized curriculum, low student-teacher ratio and to top it off, adaptive equipment. Coupled with highly qualified instructors, you’ll be ready to serve and make a point in no time.

In addition to all of this, Kids Tennis Co. will even help you plan your Birthday Celebration or any other type of Event. The Staff knows how AMAZING you are, as do I so let’s get to it!

Tennis matches are usually action-packed and so entertaining to watch. The idea of playing sounds very exciting. Pair that with having a place with the proper training to teach you skills of the game, you may just become the next Rafael Nadal. Not sure who he is? He won the US OPEN tournament last year. I happen to have a bit of a crush on him, but I digress. More about that another time. Back to the business at hand.

Overall Kids Tennis Company’s Program has glowing reviews. Furthermore, they have the expertise needed to teach our Special Needs Manhattan Community the game of Tennis. Match Point. Learn more down below.

Central Park Carousel- Upper East Side

When is the last time you guys went to Central Park and rode the carousel? We are so fortunate to have this timeless attraction here in the middle of the city. The kids never tire of the amusement of circling around on a beautifully painted horse. Central Park is such a wonderfully inclusive environment. Why not have a birthday party there and the kids can ride the carousel as one of the activities? In that case, kids can spread out and just be kids. With plenty of room to play games and act silly everyone enjoys themselves in a relaxed way. Later tie a pinata on a tree. Suddenly you’ve got yourself a party.

If you want more action the possibilities are endless. For instance, you bring motorized boats for the kids to drive in the pond, do group carriage rides, go to the zoo, have a scavenger hunt, or make simple crafts. None of that sound appealing? There are lovely playgrounds throughout the park. Also nearby are baseball fields where you can play an adaptive ball game. Instead of these elaborate parties sometimes it’s nice to get back to basics and utilize this giant backyard! When friends or family are visiting NYC, Central Park Carousel should be near the top of the list. Slow down take in some nature and click below…

92Y Birthday Party-Upper East Side

92Y is an ideal Special Needs Birthday Venue here in Manhattan. I’ve got all the details for you. To begin with the parties at the Y come with a private room complete with tables, chairs, and party favor for the attendees’. Whew. This sure makes things simple once I know how many people I’m having. Sure would be nice to have a room all to ourselves. I need to mention that when I went to a party there it wasn’t a darkroom in the dungeon. The room was well lit and had windows lining one entire wall. What’s more, the room was clean and well maintained. The entire building is also wheelchair accessible. Always a plus.

Furthermore, enthusiastic staff will help entertain kids of All Ages and Abilities with Gymnastics, Tae-Kwon Do, Dance, you name it. Lots of themes such as Circus in the Sky and Dance Party to name a few. As can be seen, the 92Y is the perfect Special Needs Venue in Manhattan for Birthdays or other celebrations. The Y’s staff is ready to make it a party to remember.

HEX & CO- Upper East and West Sides

What are you doing for your birthday? Have you thought about having a birthday games party? I’ve got just the spot, HEX & CO. Have you been there yet? For those that haven’t let me explain. It’s really cool.

HEX & CO. is a Game Cafe for families and friends to congregate and have some good old fashioned fun playing board games. Did you see that board game? not i-pad, Nintendo switch, or other technology. Although those can be fun too, here you actually look at the other person while you are playing. This sort of relaxed setting interaction is helpful in developing social skills as well as critical thinking. Beginners are always welcome. Thank Goodness because sometimes we all need a little help learning how to play. Afterschool Coordinators are typically onsite and ready to jump right in with assisting people to learn new and old games alike.

Some Educational Camps and Programs have been designed with Special Needs individuals in mind. Can I get an Amen? Food/Drinks are offered at both locations. Master Gamers easily turn into Party Planners able to customize an area and game to fit with your Birthday Games Party theme. As a side note, HEX & CO’s are on the street level accessible to friends with wheelchairs. Do not pass Go and Collect all the Info down Below!
