Why children love it: A huge sculpture-park designed by Isamu Noguchi with a climbable grassy 'Mt Moere', a play-mountain of coloured play equipment, fountains and a glass pyramid to run through.
Honest drawbacks: On the edge of the city, requiring a subway-plus-bus trip, and it is enormous and open-air so best in fine weather with time to spare.
