Crossing the Brooklyn Bridge is an iconic New York City<\/a> experience. What many tourists don’t realize is that getting to the bridge and crossing is not as simple as it seems. Sunny days mean extreme crowding on the Brooklyn Bridge. The Brooklyn Bridge is a major traffic artery, and as such, tourists and locals need to be mindful of their journey. If you’re crossing with kids, read on to be prepared to make this trip the best it can be, and enjoy the walk!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Prepare for Crowds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Crossing the Brooklyn Bridge takes at least 30 minutes if you are rarely stopping. If you want to take lots of pictures (as most visitors do), you should plan to be on the bridge for at least 45 minutes to an hour. On nice days, the bridge gets very crowded and you have to be prepared to just take it easy and go with the flow (of people). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If at all possible, I suggest a baby carrier over a stroller, just because this makes it easier to navigate. However, we took both when we went with our little ones and it was fine!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
