Grand Central Terminal552
in New York, NY 10017about Grand Central Terminal:
Primarily a hub for Metro North Railroad, Grand Central also offers some great shopping and dining experiences.
The Dining Concourse on the lower level has a nice seating area, for which the centerpieces are old style depot benches. Kids can choose from a number of store fronts, from pizza to the legendary Juniors. Nearby, you'll find old stand-by (and more formal) The Oyster Bar. The balconies above the Main Concourse house several more expensive and elegant dining options, like Metrazur, Cipriani Dolci, and Michael Jordan's Steakhouse. A quick walk around should find the perfect place to satisfy anyone's palate.
The kid-friendly New York Transit Museum offers free admission.
Free tours of Grand Central are available on Wednesdays and Fridays at 12:30pm. Call the Grand Central Partnership at 212.697.1245 for more information.
Private group tours cost $5 per person for groups of 10 people and over, or a $50 flat fee for groups under 10 people. The tour is a one-hour historical walking tour with the group's own personal tour guide. These tours are given Mon-Sun with flexible time options to suit your group's needs. Tour must be arranged and booked with full pre-payment two weeks prior to the group arrival. Groups can book tours by calling 212.340.2345.
Don't forget to point out the beautifully restored ceiling in the Main Concourse, which features the constellations in all their glory.

tips:
Just outside the Oyster Bar is the famous whispering gallery. Have one member of the family stand in each of the three corners of the entry, turn your backs on each other and whisper something to the wall. The others will hear you!
