Dad's Luncheonette

A toddler-scaled climbing playground with an elevated crawl tunnel, a small rock wall and cork surfacing, and no swings by design: every piece builds climbing.

A kids' menu of cheese quesadillas, bean and cheese burritos and baskets of tater tots, with churro bites for dessert.

A working farm above the bluffs, with u-pick pumpkins next to Northern California's only u-pick sunflower field and a corn maze cut fresh every year.

A bright indoor play space with a ball pit, slides, a balloon room and a soft zone just for the littlest ones, plus pretend play for the in-betweens.

The quiet, pumpkin-first stop: rows of every variety from tiny gourds to 250-pound Atlantics, a hay ride out to the field, and a vintage tractor for photos. No rides, no crowds, dogs welcome.

Proper Italian for you, and pasta or pizza for your kid off a menu that goes up to age 12.
