I think the whole family can enjoy Odaiba(aka Daiba) which contains the following:
"Palette Town
This shopping and entertainment complex consists of Venus Fort, Sun Walk, Mega Web, a Ferris Wheel and Zepp Tokyo, a large concert venue. See more details on each attraction below" The ferris wheel at 115 meters tall is one of the largest in the world.

"Venus Fort
Part of Palette Town, Venus Fort is a shopping mall in the style of a 18th century South European town. It features more than one hundred boutiques, shops, cafes and restaurants, targeting a mainly female audience. "

"Oedo Onsen Monogatari
Opened in March 2003, this is a hot spring theme park, which reproduces the atmosphere of the Edo Period (1603-1868). You can enjoy various types of baths, which are fed by actual hot spring water from a depth of 1400 meters. "


You can also visit the Tokyo tower. Besides the observation deck there is an aquarium and museums and places to play games.http://www.tokyotower.co.jp/333/foreign/...
