Family Festivals
Create, build, and learn as a family at the High Line at our family festival series.
Each month during the summer, we explore new themes with interactive activities for children and their caregivers, including stories, art, nature, and design. Meet and work with our High Line Gardeners in the Mobile Garden. Join a large-scale art project led by local teaching artists. Move and dance through interactive storytelling.
Family Guides
Explore the Chelsea Grasslands and Diller – von Furstenberg Sundeck with our two Family Guides. Featuring many of the plants and animals found along the High Line, the guides encourage children to observe, draw, and explore.

As a nonprofit, we need your support! Help us ensure the High Line is always a place where kids and families can create, learn, and grow.
Join todayPlanning a visit with children?
Kids can explore and discover anywhere in the park, but family favorites include the Pershing Square Beams, which were specially designed for children to climb and play, and the water feature at the Diller – von Furstenberg Sundeck.
We work hard to keep the High Line accessible and comfortable for everyone. Here are a few tips especially for families:
- To access the park with a stroller or wheelchair, check out our Visit page to see a list of ramp and elevator locations. Please note, during family programs we can’t allow strollers in the park due to space limitations, but we do provide stroller parking instead.
- Food is allowed on the High Line anytime, including during family programs. So pack a meal or snacks, or explore our food vendors. The 23rd Street Lawn is a great spot for a picnic.
- Water fountains are available throughout the park.
- Restrooms with baby-changing stations are available at Gansevoort St. and at 16th St. on the High Line. Both bathrooms are wheelchair accessible.
- Remember that scooters, bicycles, and dogs are not permitted on the High Line. Please review all our park rules.
Our family activities are designed to be inclusive of all abilities, and we encourage all persons with disabilities to attend. To request additional information regarding accessibility or accommodations at a program, please contact programs@thehighline.org or (646) 774-2482. Program venues are accessible via (wheelchair accessibility points), and ASL interpretation can be arranged two weeks in advance.
For any other questions about our family programming, please email programs@thehighline.org.
