West Nyack Things to Do Tips by Gypsystravels

IMAX Theatre

Palisades is littered with many forms of entertainment. The IMAX theatre is just one of them. The theatre is located on the top level where you'll find all the restaurants and other forms of entertainment.

The IMAX theatre is a good and fun way to see a movie!! If you know you want to catch a movie, you can purchase your tickets in advance, on line!!

Robot Galaxy

Just like Build-A-Bear, this store specializes in "making your own" robot!! We were walking by the store when something caught Kristara's eye, so we decided to check it out. Leo instantly ran towards the robots and was playing with all the ones that are displayed.

The concept is interesting, you build your own robot from it's head to its legs mixing and matching all the choices. The robots can be quite pricey ranging from $29.99 to about $60.

You can even choose to have a birthday party here, which is a cute and unique way of celebrating that little boys special day.

We walked out with a "keychain" version of a robot for Leo.

The Carousel

The Carousel is located on the food court level and is just another form of keeping the little ones (and adults too I guess) entertained.

It's a really nice carousel and there is usually a nice line with kids waiting to get on. I have yet to put Leo on the carousel since we usually spend our money on the mechanical rides, but I am sure he'll eventually ask to get on. The price of the carousel is $2 per ride.

Mechanical Rides for the little ones

One of the reasons why this shopping center is one of our favorite is not only the shopping, but the entertainment. We always have Leo in tow with us and having an outlet for any small child is a good thing.

Throughout the shopping center there are a host of things for the kiddies to do, including these mechanical rides. These mechanical rides range from cars, to trucks, to animals, which just move forward, back, up, down but Leo loves them and so do the many other children that come to the shopping center with their parents.

The rides are a bit on the expensive side, $1 each for about a minute of movement. They even have a change machine where you can get your quarters if you don't have any.

We take turns (Linda, Kris and I) keeping Leo occupied while the others do a bit of shopping. I've spent on average about $7 keeping my little boy busy!
