MiMi's Famous Crepes

Oversized sundaes with a cookie rim and piles of toppings, big enough to share. Plain cones too, if that's more your kid's speed.

Gourmet ice pops picked one at a time from the case, including fruit and dairy-free flavors. A few run spicy, so read the label before your kid chooses.

Blacksmithing, a cannon demonstration and a watchtower to climb. The cannon is loud, so warn a noise-shy kid before it goes off.

A colorful tea house with themed rooms, so tea and brunch feel like dress-up for a kid who loves a tea party.

Real pirate artifacts and hands-on displays pitched at about four to eight, and it's indoors and air-conditioned for a hot afternoon.

A talking professor greets you, and your kid leaves with a small diploma after seeing the old classroom, kitchen and gardens.
