The Hyppo - Charlotte Street

Real shipwreck artifacts and treasure, hands-on displays and a small theater. Some of it covers the Titanic, so sensitive kids may have questions.

A proper sit-down Italian dinner that still works with kids, with personal cheese pizzas, pasta and mozzarella bites on their own menu.

The 1905 salad is tossed at your table, and kids like watching it get made. Tile-lined rooms for a proper sit-down meal.

Gourmet ice pops picked one at a time from the case, including fruit and dairy-free flavors. A few run spicy, so read the label before your kid chooses.

Small-batch ice cream in house-made waffle cones, with dairy-free choices. One seasonal sorbet is for adults, so check before your kid points at it.

A two-level 1920s-style gastropub with live music. Go early for the calmer part of the evening, and order the pretzels and milkshakes.
