Crepevine

A Burlingame institution since the 1960s where families have come for generations. Counter service keeps it quick with little kids, and a princess cake slice buys parents ten quiet minutes.

Neapolitan-style pizza on Burlingame Ave that genuinely welcomes families: fast pies, sidewalk tables for wiggly kids, and a lively room where kid noise disappears into the mix.

Peninsula breakfast institution (self-billed 'voted best breakfast/brunch') with a real kids' menu for the 10-and-under set. Expect a weekend wait, but it moves.

Pizza place with a proper kids' menu - cheese or pepperoni pizza, or 'chicken in a blanket' with ranch and carrots, drink included - in a casual setting.

Burlingame's oldest park with a playground rebuilt in 2019: slides, nets, climbing walls, swings and outdoor musical instruments on clean synthetic turf. Tennis, dog park and picnic areas too.

Bayfront Hilton with an indoor pool (rare and valuable in foggy SFO-land), free airport shuttle, and direct access to the Bay Trail for stroller walks with plane views.
