Day trips with a 3 yr old and 18 month old

Looking for places that are within 2hours or so away to take my kids.

I wanted to do some weekend trips with them, but it's just not in the cards. So, I'm looking to leave in the morning on a Saturday or Sunday and then come back the same day.

Thanks!

What about the Natural History Museum in the city? I feel like younger kids would enjoy that and get a kick out of all the "animals" there. Central Park I think has the merry go round too and there are a ton of places to eat too....

The Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk, CT. Haven't been with the kids yet, but DH & I used to go before kids and we love it there. We are planning it as a day trip with the boys next month.
