Even though you and the kids may have a solidly booked schedule this summer, you can still see some great art while you’re on the run. All over the city, you can find kid-friendly public art, from a Teddy bear sculpture in Tribeca to a Willy Wonka-style swing in Riverside Park (yes, you can ride it!). So on the way to camp, swim lessons, or playdates, slow down just a bit and check out one of these super fun and super big outdoor installations.

Have you visited any of these outdoor artworks? Tell us what your kids thought in a Comment.
