About this place
A hands-on colonial workshop: rope-making, candle-dipping and weaving, pitched at about ages 3 to 10. Everyone goes home with a beeswax candle.

A two-level 1920s-style gastropub with live music. Go early for the calmer part of the evening, and order the pretzels and milkshakes.
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.
The 1905 salad is tossed at your table, and kids like watching it get made. Tile-lined rooms for a proper sit-down meal.
A working cathedral you can walk into quietly. Give kids a mission: find a favorite stained-glass window or spot the Spanish coat of arms.
A proper sit-down Italian dinner that still works with kids, with personal cheese pizzas, pasta and mozzarella bites on their own menu.
A compact history gallery where a timeline walks from Spanish and British colonial rule to today. Short enough for a school-age kid's attention span.
