The Metropolitan Museum of Art
The Met overwhelms adults, let alone kids, so the trick is ruthless selection: the Egyptian mummies, the arms-and-armor hall (knights!), and the Temple of Dendur's big dramatic room. Hit those three, grab the family map, and get out before the meltdown. Pay-what-you-wish for NY residents, and the Ancient Playground is right outside.
The Met with kids works if you pick three things — mummies, armor, the Temple of Dendur — and leave.
