Year-round public skating and lessons for wobbly first-timers, right by the Convention Center.

Downtown rooms with a sofa-bed corner for the kids, a free hot breakfast and a pool, right at The Paseo.

A cozy indoor museum made for the 0-to-6 crowd, with play kitchens, costumes and rotating themed zones.

A calm, compact museum of Asian and Pacific art where second Sundays bring free workshops and storytimes for kids.

A newer in-town park with an accessible rubberized playground, restrooms with changing tables and a dog area if the dog is coming too.
