Embassy Suites by Hilton Boulder

Funny-face pancakes and small portions at breakfast and lunch, so kids get a plate sized for them.

A rocket ship, an asteroid to climb and a sand crater to dig in, so the whole playground plays like a trip to space.

An adventure playground of repurposed junk, indoors and out, where kids build, climb and invent. Expect to sign a waiver when you arrive.

A teahouse with decorated ceilings and a garden outside, so kids have plenty to look up at while you wait for food.

Animal sculptures and climbing rocks spread along the pedestrian mall, so kids have something to scramble on between shops.

The Playzeum and the Google Garage are hands-on, so kids can play and build their way through the local history.
