The Vienna State Opera is a beautiful building. While I didn’t enjoy the play itself that much, being in the building, the atmosphere, it was a very overwhelming experience.
Depending on your own interests, the houses of Freud and Mozart are turned into interesting museums.
Sitting down in one of the many coffee houses for coffee and sweets is definitely recommended as well.
Find some heurigers. It's basically a wine bar that can range from inexpensive to somewhat spendy if you're by the palace as I found. I live in Italy so it was a different take on wine as far as...
Find some heurigers. It's basically a wine bar that can range from inexpensive to somewhat spendy if you're by the palace as I found. I live in Italy so it was a different take on wine as far as atmosphere goes and we really enjoyed it. If you enjoy art you are going to the right place, the museums are incredible. For food be sure to visit café central, the breakfast was good but the cake was divine.

Griechenbeisl is a nice little place to eat. Hammond Bar is a great cocktail bar. Prater is a fun, historical amusement park. 1516 Brewing Company is a great bar that, as the name suggest, brews their own beers.

It's a niche interest and you may be too late to get tickets, but seeing the Lipizanner horses and their riders perform at the Spanish Riding School in person is on my bucket list....

The museum is fantastic and there’s a treasure hunt game you can book which is super fun and helps you get around the museum looking for clues in the exhibits.
My GF was just there a week or two ago. The only thing she talked about was a statue of an elephant, apparently it was in front of a statue of "some old lady", which turned out to be Maria-Theresia.

If you enjoy hiking/nature, then Gumpoldskirchen is just to the south; if I remember correctly it’s close enough that it’s within the Vienna transport network, and takes roughly half an hour to get to from the centre. Lovely old village itself too.
IIRC there was this huge war museum. It had the car Franz Ferdinand was in when he was shot... I found that kind of surreal. Edit: wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum_of_Military_History,_Vienna

May not be your thing, but the caliber of classical music in Vienna is very, very high. There might be a chamber concert or something of the sort happening while you're there, and if they are playing a composer or piece you have a looking for, it'll probably create some good memories.
For some reason I really enjoyed a restaurant called "the centimeter" it was really close to our hotel. It's very typical Austrian food (like schintzel).

Haha! No way, I had no idea they had a shop in Vienna. Can second this, Miznon is incredible.

Organic Turkish food (best vines leaves I've ever had): https://maps.app.goo.gl/jM6oCcC1fxW8rmSk7
Vegan burgers, right next to Sigmund Freud Park (try the sweet woodruff soda, it's really unique): https://maps.app.goo.gl/gr5rceaaj3Ec4FBw6
Just walking around MuseumsQuartier is great, it seemed very hip to me.

Plus points for anyone can also recommend stuff to do with a 5 and 7 year old. We will be visiting Vienna in a couple of days! ♥️
Vienna Zoo should be goal then: https://www.zoovienna.at/en/ It's a very pretty thing :)
