Sudwerk Brewing Co.

Apartment-style suites with a real kitchen and a bedroom door, so the kids can sleep while you stay up. There are grills in the courtyard for an easy dinner.

Downtown Davis pizza and pasta that every Davis family guide names. It's quick, and kids sometimes get a ball of dough to play with at the table.

A little Davis dessert shop for Italian ice made in house and frozen custard, or both layered in a cup. There are games to play while you eat.

Small-batch ice cream made in the shop, with flavors like cupcake, a block from Central Park's splash pad.

A downtown Davis crepe café with a genuinely long kids' list: cheese crepes, sugar crepes, little pancakes, French toast, grilled cheese.

Downtown Davis's park, where the Saturday farmers market sets up, with play areas and Natalie's Corner, a free splash pad for summer. Market plus splash pad is a pretty perfect Saturday.
