Purple Olive Restaurant

Kids under 44 inches can't climb the tower and nobody can be carried, so the shipyard playground and puppet theater are their part of the visit.

Grass-hut tables out over the marina water, so dinner feels like an outing. The huts go to whoever gets there first.

Alligators and crocodiles side by side, so kids can finally see the difference, plus lemurs, birds and wildlife shows. The zipline starts at age 8.

Pinball, classic video games and skee-ball, set to unlimited play, so nobody's asking for another quarter.

Small street tacos you build the way you like, so a kid can keep theirs plain. Covered seating outside.

A beginner skate area next to a playground, so an older kid can practice while a younger sibling climbs. Skaters under 17 need a signed waiver.
