Nearby places
A sit-down Mexican spot with a proper kids' meal, so a small eater gets something plain while you have the burrito.
Studio suites if you want more room, with a fridge and microwave in each. A sensible base for a few days of outings.
Soft serve dipped in the coating your kid picks, then piled with toppings from a row of more than 20. A dessert stop, not dinner.
The walkable one: restaurants and sights are a stroll away, which older kids love. Only some rooms have the sleeper sofa, so pick carefully.
Handmade ice cream in scoops, with toppings to pick. A dessert stop rather than a meal.
A one-hour phone game on foot: your team hunts virtual survival supplies and does trivia and photo challenges. The zombie theme may be too spooky for small kids.
