Guinness World Records Museum

Dark rooms, optical tricks and jumpy surprises make this more of a spooky walk through than a traditional museum.

A central department store with clothes, toys and practical kid gear is useful when you need several things at once.

A broad menu in a lively central room works well when adults want a real meal and kids want something simple.

A polished kids section right on the main shopping street makes this easy to fold into an adult shopping day.

Mostly for adults, but colorful objects and the beautiful upstairs rooms can work with design interested older kids.

A beautiful central splurge with calm common spaces, best for families with older kids who do not need a playroom.
