The kid can acquire some research skill by looking up Central Park for his/her self: http://www.centralpark.com/guide/activities.html

The Museum of Natural History is just west of the park at 79th.

The Frick Collection is near the park. It is in a mansion that will make a seven-year-old girl feel like a fairy princess.

If making your daughter feel like a fairy princess is important to you.

Oops, The Frick Collection does not want to give thrills to seven-year-old girls. Ten is the minimum age for admission.

Years ago when I took a young girl to the Patio of the Castle of Velez Blanco in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, she got pretty swept away with a fantasy about life in a royal court.

You can't make anybody feel like a fairy princess. It has to come from the child's imagination.
