Ruby's Diner Carlsbad

Counter after counter, so picky kids choose their own meal. There's a games area for whoever finishes first.

There are arcade games, so the kids who finish first have somewhere to go while the table catches up.

Rows of flowers to walk, then playhouses and a small maze for when your kid is done with flowers.

Real guitars, drums and keyboards to play, so kids make noise instead of staring at glass cases.

A kids' pool and splash pad, plus a playground.

Build your own raft, then float it down the river. Splash areas and slides fill out the rest of the day.
