My 11-year old son and I did a three-hour safari in Central Park and it was one of the best things we've done together. Zim, our guide, was fantastic and made the whole experience great.
We learned tons about the controls for our cameras, how to compose shots, finding the best place to take a picture from and lots more. Within a few hundred yards in Central Park, we found dozens of different amazing locations for pictures of all different sorts. Zim gave great feedback and really made the whole time amazing.
My son also did an hour-long camera refresher over Zoom with Zim the night before and she gave him a lot of great pointers to help him get ready for the main event the next day.
As NYC residents, it's not often that we get to be tourists at home, but it was a fantastic experience and I would recommend it to locals or tourists alike! We are looking forward to doing other safaris with NYC Photo Safaris in the future.

Dear pbannis -
Thank you for your review! Yes, it is such a great privilege to live in NYC and have so many wonderful places to photograph right in our own back yard! A private session with your kids is a wonderful way to get them involved with photography. And photography is a great way to keep them engaged with the world away from their screens whether it's at home or on a family vacation.
We'll look forward to having you on another safari soon!
