You could see a SI Yankees game - otherwise I would just take the ferry back. [ Reply | More

(1) nothing to do, (2) ride the ferry or take the Splashboat, go to the Aquarium and Coney Island, go to the Bronx Zoo, hang out in Central Park, go to Mars 2112 (if you have boys), go to the top of the Rock (Rockefeller Center) or Empire State Bldg, go to Chinatown and Little Italy, let the kids play in the sprinklers in a playground (the one around CPW and 67th is nice).

I second this. It's easy and it's a wonderful museum for the under 10 set. [ Reply | More

There's a great playground on Jane Street and the West Side Highway with lots of sprinklers. It's oval shaped, and the grown-ups can sit on the perimeter. Totally safe, and it almost feels like a day at the beach because it's right on the water. Bring some water balloons. My kids are the same age; the older one still likes it, but sometimes she'll bring a book along if she wants to just rest for a while. It's right by the West Village, so you can walk over to Cowgirl Hall of Fame for lunch or dinner. The playground has a bathroom right near it, and a vendor selling drinks, ices, food. Just bring towels and bathing suits, and you're all set. [ Reply | More

kids love the ferry - get on, take pictures, buy a snack and watch the view...agree with above - you could go to a ball game on the other end or go to children's museum but i don' think kids of that age would enjoy it so i would just come right back. [ Reply | More
