Brooklyn Bridge

One of the best trip that children should explore is the Brooklyn Bridge. That is why, it is best effort for parents to take their children before the children find it too old to enjoy the place. Walk halfway to get the view together with your children.

The Brooklyn Bridge is one of the oldest suspension bridges in the United States, stretching 5,989 feet (1825 m) over the East River, connecting the New York City boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Originally referred to as the New York and Brooklyn Bridge, it was dubbed the Brooklyn Bridge in an 1867 letter to the editor of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, and formally so named by the city government in 1915. Since its opening, it has become an iconic part of the New York skyline. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1964.

Have fun! Moreover,things get awfully windy once you’re above the water!
