While lots of New York City's fantastic summer performance series are kid appropriate, children know when an event isn't aimed directly at them. So while we totally encourage you to bring your preschoolers to hear the New York Philharmonic and the Metropolitan Opera perform in Central Park, make sure you take them to a few outdoor concerts just for them, too.
Happily, that's easy to do in this town. NYC's kiddie music scene is as hot as ever this summer. Although we're still waiting for the schedules from a few annual series, most of the big ones including Madison Square Kids and SummerStage Family Days have already released their stellar lineups.

So grab a blanket, score a good spot and enjoy the tunes, weather permitting. You can find even more family fun in our jam-packed Summer Guide.
