Braly Park Playground

Moroccan-courtyard motel with a pool, spa, and free hot breakfast, consistently the top-rated budget stay in Sunnyvale. Book early - it sells out on weekends.

Premium Korean BBQ where kids are mesmerized by the tabletop grill and staff actively help families cook - the special-occasion K-BBQ that kidsbayarea recommends for families.

The classic two-course mini-golf plus arcade on El Camino, running since the 1960s. Go early on weekends - the courses stack up fast with birthday parties.

Tropical-themed Sunnyvale hotel with a pool, hot tub, and free daily continental breakfast. The palm-frond escapism is silly in a good way.

Old-school Sunnyvale pizza parlor: big-screen sports for parents, casual counter pizza for kids, and zero pretension - the post-soccer-game institution.

The Murphy Avenue Middle Eastern favorite - grills, mezze, fresh bread - that handles families and big groups well. It's busy and buzzy, which works in your favor with kids.
