I have a six hour layover at jfk with my dad. He's never seen nyc, I would like to take him to see the 9/11 memorial and times Square. Do I have enough time?

Do. Not. Uber. No matter how long google maps says it is, it’s always 1.5-2hrs, especially if you’re going to/from Times Square. LIRR is 20 mins to penn station

Take the lirr to midtown and see times square, take the subway downtown to see the memorial then take the E train all the way to jfk

Depends on the time. When are you landing. Around 7-9 am or 5-7pm probably a no go

D3 has the right approach. As a personal preference, I personally might do it the other direction taking E to 9/11 Memorial first, taking the 1 up to 50th and walking back down 7th Ave to Penn Station through TS to take the LIRR way back to JFK. It's harder to get turned around in Midtown vs downtown and it involves less backtracking if you want to wander anywhere above 42nd.

I'm thinking of ubering to the memorial first then times Square on the way back, any idea what would make most sense first based on traffic?

Yup either one is fine to start with i think

Train for sure. The van wyck (autocorrect called it the van suck and that’s accurate) can be a parking lot anytime of day so don’t risk Uber

How long will I be on the train?

Probably 3hr in total to and from JFK and between 9/11 and TS. It sounds bad on paper, but you'd maybe save 15-20min each leg by car if the estimates are right, but as others have mentioned, traffic is a real crapshoot. (Although MTA delays are also no joke sometimes.)

Thankfully, both 9/11 and Times Square are places where you kind of just see it, get the atmosphere and some quick pics in under 30 min, if you're relatively quick about it. I might stick to one or the other if either you or your father want to linger and can't be rushed or if there are any mobility considerations.
