This blog's sources cover India only, so they cannot support a Times Square family weekend guide. Times Square timings, transit, crowds and etiquette need New York sources before anyone publishes them. If you are planning a family trip to India instead, Delhi, Agra and Jaipur offer kid friendly sights, covered below.
Many parents search for things to do in Times Square with kids this weekend, and that is a fair question with a time limit attached. We have checked the source set for this article, and it does not contain a single fact about New York, Times Square, its subway, its crowds or its attractions. Rather than guess, this page explains what is missing and what we can offer honestly instead.
Why this page is not a Times Square guide
Every source we hold is about India. The Delhi, Agra and Jaipur material describes monuments, markets, timings and tours on the Indian subcontinent. None of it can be carried over to a city in the United States, and copying details from memory would risk wrong opening hours, wrong transit lines and wrong advice for children. A weekend itinerary is only useful if those details are right on the day. For more detail, see our page on Things to Do in Jaipur: The Complete Guide.
We would rather tell you that plainly than publish a polished article that sounds right but cannot be checked. This blog is written for readers planning trips in India, so a New York family guide sits outside its scope.
Things to do in Times Square with kids this weekend: what a New York guide would need
Before any Times Square article could be drafted responsibly, a writer would need current New York sources covering the following: Readers who want more detail can start with our page on Things to Do in Udaipur: The Complete Guide.
The first is a recommended stay length, and which age groups that advice is based on. Without a source, any number of days is a guess.
The second is attraction hours, durations and any entry arrangements, checked against official pages on the day of writing. Times Square itself is an open public space, but the attractions around it change, so each one would need its own check.
The third is seasonal and weekday crowd information, along with school holiday dates, which change each year and should be verified rather than assumed.
Transit changes often, so this needs a live transit source.
The fifth is a reference for crowd and safety etiquette, and for any places a source rates as tourist traps. Without that reference, opinions about what to skip would be the writer's own, not a verified guide.
Kid friendly options in India, from our sources
If your family is open to a trip to India, our existing material gives solid ground for a kid friendly visit. Delhi is the usual starting point. Our Delhi overview lists the Red Fort, Qutub Minar and Humayun's Tomb, along with Akshardham, the Lotus Temple, the Chandni Chowk market and Dilli Haat. For a fuller list with fees and timings, see top Delhi places with fees and timings.
Agra is the next stop for most families, and the famous monument is the Taj Mahal. Our photography material notes that the Taj is best seen at sunrise, and that Mehtab Bagh is good for sunset views. Children often enjoy the early start, but the schedule should allow for rest. Our full Agra material covers the city in more depth in Agra's monuments and planning guide.
Jaipur completes the Golden Triangle with Delhi and Agra. Our sources list Amber Fort, the City Palace, Hawa Mahal and Jantar Mantar, along with the Pink City bazaars and Rajasthani thali. For a day by day plan, see the Delhiagratourpackages Jaipur page, and for more sights and food, read our complete Jaipur sightseeing guide.
Families who want a longer Rajasthan trip can look at our Udaipur guide for a further Rajasthan stop as further reading, though this article does not cover Udaipur itself.
A sample day in Delhi for young children
A realistic first day could start at a major monument from our list, such as the Red Fort, then move to a lunch stop in Chandni Chowk or Old Delhi. Our Delhi material suggests the old city for street food, so a family could sample it with the children and keep to milder dishes. The afternoon could include a quieter place such as Humayun's Tomb, and the evening could finish at Dilli Haat for shopping and crafts. Plan rest breaks after lunch, because heat and crowds can tire young children quickly. Our sources do not give opening hours for these places, so check them before you go. More on this is on our page on Things to Do in Agra: Top Places, Fees & Timings 2026.
What we will not do
We will not invent New York attractions, subway lines or crowd figures to fill a page. We will not list Times Square timings from memory. If the team decides to commission a New York guide, it should be drafted only after the sourcing list above is filled with current, checkable material.
