Best play space: Apple Seeds
If only the real New York were as cushy as the version kids can explore at this Chelsea haven. The 2,500-square-foot indoor playground is divided into sections, each of which targets a certain age range and is modeled after a familiar city locale. Your kids can play on the soft benches in “Central Park” or drive a stationary yellow taxi in “construction city.” Classes, a café, a bookstore, birthday parties and a haircut salon make the annual fee ($850 per family) easier to take. Sadly, there’s no “rent-control village,” but everything except the playground is open to nonmembers. 10 W 25th St between Broadway and Sixth Ave (212-792-7590, appleseedsnyc.com).
