Treehouse Hotel Silicon Valley

The Peninsula breakfast-and-lunch institution (since 1974) where the kids' menu doubles as a coloring sheet and the coffee cake is famous. Breakfast and lunch only - doors close mid-afternoon.

Sunnyvale hotel with a shallow heated pool and one-bedroom suites with a separate sitting area.

Sunnyvale's nautical-themed neighborhood park: a ship-play structure little captains climb all over, plus open lawn and picnic spots in north Sunnyvale.

Fast-casual Middle Eastern that kids actually eat: chicken shawarma, falafel, and rice plates at counter speed - the healthy weeknight answer on Mathilda.

50s-themed diner with jukebox vibes, milkshakes, and burgers: the nostalgia place where kids get a kick out of the decor and everyone leaves full.
