Oldest Wooden School House

The stone gate from 1808, with pieces of the old town wall on either side. A quick walk-through and a photo, then on to the next thing.

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

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.

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

More than 160 wax figures, from historical people to pop-culture characters, that kids can pose beside for photos. A studio shows how they're made.

Sweet crepes made to order, and a quiet back garden (shared with a soft-pretzel counter) to eat them in.
