The Clayground

Southwest food with a kids' menu that goes beyond tenders: quesadillas, tacos, and chips for the table.

Casual pit barbecue that local parents keep recommending for a meal out with kids.

A bouldering gym with routes that change regularly, best for kids about six and up. Falling is part of bouldering, so stay close.

Small-group skate lessons and camps with coaching for ages 7 to 12, so a beginner learns without a busy park around them.

Wings, with kid-size boneless wings and tenders, so your kid eats the same thing as the rest of the table.

Wood-fired pizza to share in a taproom, with lemonade and apple juice for the kids. The room's small, so go with a small group.
