anyway, you’re doing the right thing with a family in tow.
midtown, central park, anywhere downtown.
depending on your kid’s age and your mobility, downtown you might take a walk on the brooklyn bridge, then walk around the brooklyn dumbo waterfront neighborhood there and take a water taxi back. or take a ferry to governors island to ride bikes around it. if you have teens — they like broadway soho shopping & walking around greenwich village washington sq park, macdougal/bleecker streets, etc..
we live in staten island by the ferry so we take it a lot into manhattan and of course ‘the boat’ as we call it over here is always full of stateners and tourists, so that is nice to do too and free. i was on it coming in the other day and halfway we had a man overboard, so just my luck and that especially gave the tourists a lot of exciting drama. but again irl i found out that happens like 3x/yr and is sad really, but isnt crime.

Little Island at the end of the High Line is worth visiting with kids. Also, there is a new beach that was completed last year next to Little Island. We went their with our young kids in November (hardly beach weather) and it offers great views of lower Manhattan and Jersey City.

Central Park is always fun with kids and the High Line is enjoyable as well. As mentioned above, taking the ferry is also fun. I think it is free on the weekends and you can take it to Governor's island from lower Manhattan.
