This free technology museum in Midtown's Sony Tower is four floors of digital bliss where visitors can play video games, record a mini-TV show, talk to robots, and perform micro-surgery, among many other science- and technology-based activities.  It's an easy way to entertain kids aged 6 to 13 on a rainy day or after you've finished shopping at the variety of flagship stores nearby.  Advance reservations are required.
