Attractions like Central Park and Ellis Island make great kid-friendly stops. There's still lots to do: admire the masterpieces at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, admire the striking features of Grand Central Terminal, don't miss a visit to Times Square, and contemplate the long history of 9/11 Memorial.
