Discovery Square at Museum Plaza

Made for kids up to eight, with dress-up and a colonial village to play in. Grown-ups can only come in with a kid.

Living history, old houses and small museums on one ticket, so you can wander from one to the next as long as the kids hold out.

A splash fountain right on the waterfront, so kids can get soaked and you can walk the water's edge after.

A hands-on science museum of experiments and puzzles, where kids are meant to touch everything. Under-16s come with an adult.

Rope climbing and a playground right on the water, with paved paths along it for a walk after.
