Eataly Silicon Valley (Valley Fair)

An eight-page kids' activity menu with crayons, stamps and temporary tattoos, so the wait for food goes by.

Kids watch soup dumplings being folded through the kitchen window, then demolish them.

Fast-casual sandwiches for picky and adventurous eaters alike, with a plaza outside where kids can run after.

Park with a playground for ages 5 to 12.

A Victorian mansion of stairs to nowhere and doors that open onto walls. The house tour suits ages 6 and up who like spooky; the garden tour works with a stroller.

A San Jose icon since 1966: order at the window, eat at picnic tables under a giant San Jose mural. The banana shakes get even falafel skeptics through the meal.
