Hotel Sanders

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

A quiet harborfront setting gives you central access without feeling like you are sleeping on top of the busiest streets.

A canal boat is an easy way to see the city when little legs are done walking, with bridges and boats keeping kids occupied.

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

Odd records and interactive challenges work especially well with school age kids who like weird facts and competitions.

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