I'm going to Pennsylvania for vacation,but we want to go through NYC with our small children first and we have never been there. I would like to know how much it costs to go over briged and everything to get to different parts of nyc? Also what does it cost to park your car? I know we want to go to times square,broadway, ground zero, and to see the statue of liberty. Thanks.|||$8 to cross Holland and Lincoln Tunnels and George Washington Bridge (going into Manhattan; going to NJ is free).
$9 to cross Verrazano Bridge (going into Staten Island; going to Brooklyn is free).
$4.50 to cross the Whitestone, Throgs Neck and Triborough Bridges, and the Brooklyn-Battery and Queens-Midtown Tunnels.
Parking is ludicrously expensive in Manhattan. Expect to pay up to $50/day to park your car in a garage.|||$5 for the bridge
As much as $50 a day to park your car depending on the part of manhattan you choose.
You don't say how long you are going to stay (you didn't ask about hotel rooms) but your itinerary is very ambitious for 2 small children for one day. They will tire easily as it is a lot of walking. It is very intimidating keeping up with them in the crowds. NYC is not an easy place for small kids.
I would suggest you select a Greyline tour that allows "on and off" stops. That way you can easily manipulate with your children. The tours cost probably $40 to $50 a person but are well worth it. You can also take boat tours that will take you around the harbor and near the statue of liberty.|||It depends on the Bridge.
Most TBTA bridges are a $10 toll paid in one direction (or $5 paid in both directions) if you pay cash, E-Z Pass is less.
$10 TBTA
Verrazano Narrows Bridge (Staten Island to Brooklyn)
Triboro Bridge (Queens to Bronx to Manhattan)
Whitestone Bridge (Queens to Bronx)
Throgs Neck Bridge (Queens to Bronx)
Brooklyn Battery Tunnel (Brooklyn to Manhattan)
Midtown Tunnel (Queens to Manhattan)
MTA Bridges
Henry Hudson Bridge $2.75 (Manhattan to Bronx)
Marine Parkway Bridge $2.50 (Brooklyn to Queens)
Cross Bay Blvd Bridge $2.50 (Queens to Queens)
Port Authority Crossings are $8 in one direction or $4 both ways, again cheaper if you have EZ Pass.
PA Bridges are:
George Washington Bridge (NJ to Manhattan)
Bayonne Bridge (NJ to Staten Island)
Gothels Bridge (NJ to Staten Island)
Outerbridge Crossing (NJ to Staten Island)
Lincoln Tunnel (NJ to Manhattan)
Holland Tunnel (NJ to Manhattan)
Then there are the NYC owned Bridges and they are free.
Brooklyn Bridge (Brooklyn to Manhattan)
Manhattan Bridge (Brooklyn to Manhattan)
Williamsburg Bridge (Brooklyn to Manhattan)
Queensboro-59th Street Bridge (Queens to Manhattan)
And various smaller bridges between Manhattan and the Bronx and Brooklyn and Queens.
Parking, on average, will run you between $50 and $75 a day, depending on where you park.|||For the bridges, plan anywhere from 6 to 10 dollars... i've made that trip ever since I was a little girl but I can't remember the exact numbers. Car parking? In NYC?? Good luck! If you are going on a tour of downtown. Park your car in one place, then either walk the whole way or hire a taxi because if you drive you won't be able to truly enjoy the sites. With your little kids, try using either a stroller or those little backpacks with leads on them (it is NOT mean! it is just to keep them safe in the hustle and bustle of the city). Have fun!|||$8|||Most people have to take out a second mortgage now when they cross a bridge.|||5 dollars I think well its been a while so it probally went up to I dont know maybe 10|||8 dollars, no that is for a drink, no I stick to 8 dollars
