Make a visit of it
The interactive pen lets you design your own wallpaper and save it to your ticket -- kids love this but adults get into it too. The Carnegie Mansion garden is free to enter and one of the best-kept-secret green spaces on the UES.
After: Yura on Madison (bakery/cafe, $8-15). 92nd and Madison. Scones and sandwiches in a wood-paneled space. Old-money UES vibes.
