Central Park: With its lovely carousel, a zoo, two ice-skating rinks, and numerous playgrounds and ball fields, Central Park is a children's wonderland.
Bronx Zoo Wildlife Conservation Park: This is one of the great zoos in the world -- and you don't have to be a kid to love it.
New York Hall of Science: This Queens' museum, in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, has hands-on exhibits that thrill children from preschool and up. And after the museum, the park offers a carousel, zoo, and boat and bike rentals.
Coney Island: It's not a theme park (yet!), just an old-fashioned amusement park on the beach. There's also the nearby Aquarium and Nathan's Hot Dogs for nourishment. What more could anyone, much less a kid, want?
