About this place
A photo scavenger hunt on your phone: solve riddles, find things, snap them. It's about two miles on foot, so it suits school-age kids more than a stroller.
How kid-friendly is it?

A one-hour phone game on foot: your team hunts virtual survival supplies and does trivia and photo challenges. The zombie theme may be too spooky for small kids.
An open plaza beside a covered stage where outdoor movie nights and kids' dance parties come through. Bring a blanket and let them spread out.
Studio suites if you want more room, with a fridge and microwave in each. A sensible base for a few days of outings.
Handmade ice cream in scoops, with toppings to pick. A dessert stop rather than a meal.
A deli with a simple grilled cheese for kids, so the picky eater is covered while you get a real sandwich.
A sit-down Mexican spot with a proper kids' meal, so a small eater gets something plain while you have the burrito.
