If this is your first time in Moscow, go to Red Square. This is one of the main places and the main attraction, where you should definitely go with your child in Moscow. Show your child what the Kremlin towers, St. Basil's Cathedral and the famous Kremlin wall with dovetails look like.
From there you will get to GUM; the nearest entrance to it is on Red Square. If you have the strength, visit the Central House of Music; you can walk to it, take the metro, or walk along Tverskaya and Old Arbat streets.
If you know the center of Moscow well, then plan for this day something that you have not seen yet, but would like to see. It is important that these attractions are close to each other. Traveling in a crowded metro with children in Moscow or standing in traffic jams takes a lot of effort and time. Take this into account.
We wish you pleasant walks around the sights of Moscow with your children!
