Pinocchio in the Desert

Palm Canyon Drive closes to cars for a street fair with food stalls and street performers, so kids can roam on scooters while you browse.

Scoops and Dole Whip right on the Walk of Stars, so it pairs with hunting for famous names in the sidewalk.

The tribe's own museum, with family activity days and an ethnobotany camp for kids, so a canyon hike afterwards means more.

The pool is up on the roof of the tallest building downtown, right above Palm Canyon Drive.

Shakes, malts and floats, including a date shake, and some come with a mini donut on the straw.

A huge, colorful dining room hung with Old Hollywood stars, and kids' meals come with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
