Here are three ideas for things to do with children in New York City. And all three are free.

SONY WONDER TECH LAB

Fun and free don't always go hand in hand but at Sony Wonder they do. Nestled inside the Sony Headquarters on 55th Street in Manhattan, this technology lab is a hidden gem that has been around 21 years. Kids love it, and parents do, too.

Four levels of interactive exhibits turn everyone into a kid. I brought along my 7-year-old buddy Jay, who never says no to a good time. We stopped at the remote control robots and then made our way to the TV studio. Jay did good. This one I aced. 

PIER 25

Another cool spot is Pier 25 off the West Side Highway. It's one of the best outdoor parks in the city. Kids can rock climb, go skating, play in the sandbox or enjoy one of the cool water features.  

QUEENS COUNTY FARM MUSEUM

And if you're yearning to see a little green, the Queens County Farm Museum in Floral Park is the perfect stop. It has 47 acres of farmland with more than 60 varieties of organic fruits and veggies. It's interesting and educational.
