Villa Zorayda Museum

A big PB&J on the menu, and colorful art in the gallery next door to look at while you wait.

A student-led tour of a grand old hotel, with discovery drawers and a stained-glass design station kids can get their hands on. Fountains in the courtyard, too.

Ask at the desk for the guide made for kids, then turn the collection into an I Spy hunt for odd objects. Strollers are fine in most galleries, not all.

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.

Pizza by the slice, so each kid picks their own topping. Garlic knots and simple pasta for anyone who won't do pizza.

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.
