Although I gotta say I like Prospect Park better than Central Park. And the brooklyn botanical gardens are free on Tuesdays and Saturdays (10-noon). Here's one more thing, if you're a FOTC fan :) <a href="http://matadortrips.com/new-york-city-tour-flight-of-the-conchords"target="blank" rel="nofollow">Flight of the Concords</a> Nice list.

I was just searching for things to do in NYC today with my kids and this was very helpful. Planning to go to the zoo this week in addition to the museums today.

Both great. Be warned that they are very far apart though. MET is on the Upper East Side and the Cloisters are way up on the West Side (Fort Tryon Park). I'd recommend checking out the couch surfing website if you want to meet up with New Yorkers. There is a search for have a cup of coffee. @Francisco

The Met and AMNH are both suggested admission. Most pay the suggested, but it's definitely not fixed. Students get a lower rate so it is odd for them to just assume and give a full rate. Lots of students, of all ages, go there. The Met does let kids until 12 in for free. AMNH's suggested is $8.50. At least you didn't get charged that. @Jen Laceda

They just ring you up. I think my husband and I paid $20 USD per person, but at least our 2-year-old got in for free. So how do we do it? Do we just go up and tell the cashier that we choose to pay a voluntary amount instead?
