The Crawford Hotel

Bunk rooms for the kids and a churro hour to look forward to between outings.

A rooftop pool, and kid-size tents you can ask for, so the room turns into a campsite at bedtime.

Fish, rainforest animals and one giant tank, so kids can turn the walk-through into a scavenger hunt.

Firefighting exhibits and kid activities for a truck-loving kid. Strollers stay on the first floor, since there's no elevator up.

Outdoor nature play: sand to dig, a river to mess about in, and canyons and ruins to scramble through.

Hands-on art-making alongside the collections, so kids get to make something instead of only looking.
