Lily's Burger

Giant wooden owls, mushrooms and forest creatures make this one of the city's most memorable themed playgrounds.

A neighborhood park with playground space and rocky paths, good for a simple afternoon away from tourist crowds.

Excellent pastries and sandwiches make this a worthwhile grown up coffee stop that still has plenty kids will actually eat.

More rocks than beach, so this is better for confident older swimmers than toddlers who want shallow water.

Worth a small detour for pastries and buns, especially when everyone is happier eating outside than sitting through brunch.

Huge lawns, playgrounds and waterfront paths make this an easy picnic day with enough room for bikes and balls.
