Haas-Lilienthal House

Nob Hill crepes with a kids' menu, high chairs, a changing table, and crayons.

An organic farm-to-table restaurant with kids' meals and an on-site bakery.

Metal slides and a water feature in a hilly park of trees, lawns and views over the city and the bay.

Polk Street indoor playground with rope mazes and slides for toddlers through school age.

House-made bread and sausages from an open kitchen, and a menu that changes daily. Better for a kid who'll try things.

Its own boardwalk gives a bird's-eye view over unusual play pieces, sports courts and planting, with a clubhouse alongside.
