Kids can walk through real historic houses and shops, which is far easier to understand than looking at objects behind glass.

One giant lawn is the main event, which is perfect for balls, running and a picnic without much planning.

A creek, fields and wooded paths make this a good nature day for kids who would rather explore than climb equipment.

A big neighborhood park with play areas and open lawns, good for a picnic day without the tourist crowds.

Wide open fields beside the airport make this especially fun for kids who like watching small planes come and go.

A mellow little zoo inside a beautiful park, with a freshwater aquarium and tiny amusement rides for younger kids.
