A giant indoor play center with climbing, trampolines and themed areas, especially useful on a wet winter day.

The ferry ride and enormous grounds make this easier with kids than a palace visit that is only about formal rooms.

A classic lake beach with sand, lawns and enough space to make an afternoon feel like a mini vacation.

A popular family swim spot with sand and grass, easy for a relaxed summer afternoon close to the subway.
