   I'm a big fan of Hopworks in Portland, OR. They have a great kids play area plus terrific food in a pleasant, laid back environment. Plus they focus on sustainability.

   Kid Friendly? We're all about that when traveling with a two year old.

   While in NYC all three of us loved Chat n Chew. A "homestyle" restaurant just off of Union Square. Have lunch or an early dinner and then head to the park.

   If you are going through Indianapolis, the Children's Museum is a must. We buy a grandparent's membership. The grandkids never get tired of it. There are many age appropriate levels.

   There is a fantastic park in Lisburn, PA (Lower Allen Park). The huge play area has places and toys appropriate for children of most ages.

   Great contest! I'm going to nominate NYC's Sony Wonder Technology Lab. It's free and provides hours of entertainment for kids and parents too! I'm already an RSS reader.

   What a great review--it was really helpful.

   In Houston, one great, kid-friendly stop is the new downtown park: Discovery Green. It's centrally located, free and offers great playgrounds, a mist tree (great for cooling off!) model boating pond and lots of other stuff.

   Pick me!

   Another NYC entry--but this time Brooklyn! There's a cute little cafe right near me called The Oak & The Iris. They have kids' meals, high chairs, and a corner of the place has toys and books for the wee ones. And they have fantastic organic food and coffee for the adults too. It's at 2826 Fort Hamilton Parkway Brooklyn, NY 11226, near the Fort Hamilton stop on the F line.

   I like ZuZu cafe in Madison, WI...it's kid friendly and right next to the zoo!

    Oak Mountain State Park in Birmingham, AL has bike lanes, playgrounds, areas to swim, trails, etc. Plenty of opportunitites for outdoor family fun!

    At the Seattle Center, there is both the Science Center and the Children's Museum, which right now has a Curious George exhibit.

13. Sarah on March 10, 2009 at 11:42 a.m.
    

    If you're in the San Francisco bay area, the Lawrence Hall of Science is a great place to go with kids! They have a few exhibits that are always there and an exhibit that changes (usually every few months.

    My husband and I recently visited the San Antonio Sea World. I was really surprised and pleased to find that they have places set aside specifically for breastfeeding! I think this is so great! They also offer free tickets into Sea World for military families once a year. What a generous offer!

    This travel crib looks awesome! My family always love Pike's Place Market in Seattle, WA. It is so fun to watch the fish market and see the men throwing the fish back and forth. Also, all the different shops are cool to walk into. They have a lot of variety of what they offer. Our favorite shop was this little bead shop down in one of the permanent shops. They have a wonderful variety!

16. Erin Lowmaster on March 10, 2009 at 12:05 p.m.
    

    I really like the Great Wolf Lodge in Ground Mound Washington!

17. Megan Izatt on March 10, 2009 at 12:06 p.m.
    

    If this post twice, sorry! We always love to go to Pike's Market in Seattle, WA. It's fun to walk past the fish stalls and watch the big fish getting thrown back and forth. Also, they have a lot of variety of shops. Some are permanent, and others are kinda like a farmer's market situation. We love the little bead shop in one of the permanent stores. Also, if you don't want to stay at Pike's, there are also other little places right in walking distance.

    I live in Columbus, Ohio and we have a fantastic zoo. From the exhibits to the rides to the play area, there is something kids of all ages can enjoy. It's one of my favorite places to go, with or without kids!

20. Vanessa on March 10, 2009 at 12:10 p.m.
    

    We are in Washington DC and love, love, love the Building Museum and the Udvar Hazey Air and Space Museum. Both have large open spaces that little ones can explore/run around and not bother anyone. These are our go-to places especially in bad weather. The drawback of the U-H Air and Space Museum is that it is difficult to access by public transit and the parking is expensive ($14/car)

21. Emily on March 10, 2009 at 12:13 p.m.
    

    The Crayola Factory in Easton, PA. A hop skip and jump from Philadelphia and New Jersey. What child doesn't love coloring?

    I love going to Marriott Residence Inns. Many of them have 2 bedroom suites (with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a common area with living room and full kitchen). You can share a get away with friends or relatives (which means 1/2 the $)and have the privacy of your own room and bathroom, but have a place to hang out after you put the kids to bed. I have been to one near Sesame Place (PA), Washington D.C., and Saratoga Springs (NY)....all were great!

25. Naomi on March 10, 2009 at 12:23 p.m.
    

    The Sedgwick County Zoo here in Wichita is really remarkable. It's a good-sized zoo and you could easily spend a whole day there but the layout is perfect for smaller adventures, too. The flat Kansas landscape means an easy walk for most folks and it is VERY stroller-friendly.

26. Allison Carll on March 10, 2009 at 12:30 p.m.
    

    Forsyth Park in Savannah, GA is a wonderful place to spend the day with your family. It has tennis courts, a playground, plenty of open space for ultimate frisbee, flag football, or soccer and the most beautiful feature is it's spectacular fountain. Right now it is green for St. Patrick's Day.

27. Tracy Huett on March 10, 2009 at 12:31 p.m.
    

    We took our children to Sea World in San Antonio Tx. Stayed at the Radisson Sea World. It was specifically disigned for kids..face painting, child pool, evening movies, free smores roasting...what a wonderful time!

    The strip in Las Vegas, actually does offer lots of things for children to do and see, from Aquariums to the dolphin habitat to circus acts.

29. Candy on March 10, 2009 at 12:45 p.m.
    

    We love Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies! Our children never sleep well when we're out of town, so we take advantage of he aquarium's late closing (10-11 pm) and enjoy some quiet time with the fishes. It's amazing how much it clears out and we're left to wander and enjoy at our own pace.

30. Jennifer Boyd on March 10, 2009 at 12:50 p.m.
    

    An amazing place we visited in Florida is called Wanna-do City. The kids can pretty much do anything, from shopping in a grocery store to being a firefighter to doing surgery in a hospital. It's really neat!
    Thanks for entering me!
    

31. Angela S on March 10, 2009 at 12:52 p.m.
    

    I love the Discovery Gateway in Salt Lake City - a great place for letting kids loose with their imaginations and they host super fun birthday parties!

32. Kerry on March 10, 2009 at 12:54 p.m.
    

    Silver Dollar City is a great family park with both caves to explore, shows to see and great playground areas for kids. It has entertainment for grandparents, 3 year olds and teenagers.

33. Christina on March 10, 2009 at 12:55 p.m.
    

    My favorite kid friendly place is Disney World! My MOST FAVORITE and super helpful part are the family care stations (I think that is what they call them). There is one in every park - and they have private rooms for Mom's to nurse, complete with rocking chairs and stools. They also have high chairs for feeding, bathrooms for easy kid potty breaks...tv's to entertain older siblings while Mom nurses. I could go on and on. We visited that place every day during our trip!!

34. Donna Y. on March 10, 2009 at 12:57 p.m.
    

    It might sound dumb, but I love taking my 13 month old son to Steak 'n' Shake! He loves coloring with the crayons and coloring sheet they provide, and the kid's menu has good prices and a good selection.

35. Dana Beebe on March 10, 2009 at 12:57 p.m.
    

    What a great product!

36. Amanda Davis on March 10, 2009 at 1:09 p.m.
    

    Bertucci's gives the kid's dough to play with and they can make a "fake pizza" and they will cook it in the pizza oven for them!!

37. Rachel on March 10, 2009 at 1:22 p.m.
    

    We are expecting our first baby, so we haven't yet traveled with little ones! As a teacher, I am always on the look out for great kid-friendly locations. We love the Portland Zoo! Its local for us and has a wonderful layout and great kids programs!

38. Marcie VH on March 10, 2009 at 1:22 p.m.
    

    I just went to dinner at the new Yankee Pier restaurant in Lafayette, CA. Great fresh seafood and my 9 month old had his highchair and made a total mess underneath it eating bread, oyster crackers and bits of everything else off my plate. He loved it and the staff loved him and there were no complaints or stuffiness about having him there.

40. Tifany on March 10, 2009 at 1:24 p.m.
    

    I think Moe's Southwest Restaurant in South Carolina is really kid friendly. Lots of great choices for meals, and Tuesdays kids eat free! Try it out sometime!

41. Carol on March 10, 2009 at 1:24 p.m.
    

    I highly recommend the Sonoran Desert Museum in Tucson. It is kid-friendly, and the docents are soooo nice and helpful. Lovely, educational place.

    My daughter loves the Discovery Museum in Chattanooga, Tennessee. There are always new exhibits to see, books to read, crafts to make, etc. everytime we visit. If you live nearby, I highly recommend visiting--your kids will be busy for hours.

44. Jennifer Lleras on March 10, 2009 at 1:28 p.m.
    

    we really enjoy going to our local Italian restaurant on Tuesdays, kids eat free. I know it seems boring but it makes it easier to have a family diner together when someone else makes it and with the economy like it is kids eat free nights are awesome!

    san diego zoo has many kid friendly activities and it is a very nice zoo.

46. adrienne Gordon on March 10, 2009 at 1:30 p.m.
    

    Dave and Bussters is great, so many games and foods for kids.

47. Kim on March 10, 2009 at 1:32 p.m.
    

    Around here, Habitot is a great spot to visit. It's in Berkeley CA, very close to BART, and designed for the younger kids. Lots of indoor activities, a water table, and a pre-walkers padded area. If the weather is okay, add a picnic at any one of the many park areas nearby or wander through the Saturday Farmers Market.

48. Andrea on March 10, 2009 at 1:41 p.m.
    

    We travel all the time with 3 toddlers - what a great invention!

49. Susan Johnson on March 10, 2009 at 1:43 p.m.
    

    We live in the St. Louis, MO, area, and Suson County park is a fun FREE spot for families with younger kids. There is a farm with animals the kids can see, a great playground, and ponds.

50. Lauren on March 10, 2009 at 1:44 p.m.
    

    A great kid-friendly place near Houston is the Kemah Boardwalk. The area was devastated by hurricane Ike, but has reopened better than before. Kids can ride the rides, pet stingrays, and even take a boat ride out into the bay.

    I love going to childrens museums and of course zoos, no matter how big or small, the child will love it!!

    With 3 kids if it can't be child friendly, we can't go!

53. Jennifer on March 10, 2009 at 1:54 p.m.

    Our family loves to go to the Oregon Coast. Almost everywhere you go there is kid friendly and there is so much to do that you don't have to pay for. One must see is the Aquarium in Newport. They even have an area where you can feel starfish and eels and other sea creatures. Kids love it and so do we as adults.

58. Ginny on March 10, 2009 at 2:36 p.m.
    

    I love the Great Wolf Lodge in Washington. The indoor water park, themed rooms, kids craft center, and animated story time make it a great family hotel.

    I would recommend the Strong National Museum of Play to anyone in the Rochester NY area. There's a toy museum, a kid run supermarket, a carousel, a butterfly house and tons of other things you can do with children on a rainy day.

61. Meg on March 10, 2009 at 2:47 p.m.
    

    This is an awesome giveaway! I would recommend Dave and Buster's restaurant/arcade. Kids just love it and it is a great adult atmosphere as well!

    My family loves to go traveling thru Texas going to all the little country towns, they are sooo amazing and you always find good eats Like Chapel Hill and their amazing sausage.

    T.G.I.Fridays gives kids crayons and paper to color on and occupy them until they get their food

    We discovered the Great Wolf Lodges this summer while traveling and would highly recommend staying in one of their locations. My boys ALL had a blast and they range in age from 4 to 11. It is hard to find a place where everyone has a great time these days!

    Locally, we enjoy going to John's Incredible Pizza, Chuck E. Cheese and Red Robin because they are all very kid-friendly. Most pizza places are great, I think.

67. Heather D. on March 10, 2009 at 3 p.m.
    

    One of the best kid friendly hotels is the Marriott Park City Moutain Resort. They have a ton of activities specifically geared for children. Love it!

68. Holly Duce on March 10, 2009 at 3:04 p.m.
    

    We really love the Children's Museum and Woodland park zoo in Seattle :)

69. Felicia Eis on March 10, 2009 at 3:10 p.m.
    

    Hm right now we do not know of any kid friendly places other then our parents :P Yeah I know its lame but when you do not have the money or time to get out that is the only place that works

70. susan on March 10, 2009 at 3:22 p.m.
    

    We love the Honolulu Zoo. It is very child friendly and it's a great place to spend the day, have a picnic, and enjoy time with your little ones!

    Great giveaway! A great kid-friendly place near me is John's Incredible Pizza. I don't know if these are anywhere besides Northern California, but they are fun for everyone! Picture Chuck E. Cheese times 10! Tons of entertainment, games, huge party rooms, mini golf, laser tag, and of course lots of pizza! The kids and adults love it!

74. Erin on March 10, 2009 at 3:35 p.m.
    

    We drove across the country when my son was 3 months old. I think the baby-friendliest restaurant was Cracker Barrel. We stopped at a bunch along the way (it's nice to eat REAL food, and veggies!), but the most notable one we stopped at was in Morton, IL. What's nice is that if your baby is on solid foods they have things he or she could eat. Some even offered to puree some carrots for my son, but he was too young. They have attachments for their regular chairs that let you set your carseat right in them so your baby can sit in his own chair.

75. Peggy on March 10, 2009 at 3:44 p.m.
    

    We recently traveled to San Diego and spent some time at LegoLand. Our 4 and 5 year old boys loved it! Perfect theme park for that age.

76. Alisa on March 10, 2009 at 3:49 p.m.
    

    One of our favorite places to go is the splash park by our house.

77. Arin on March 10, 2009 at 3:52 p.m.
    

    I would have to say all Best Western's chain hotels are great for Families. My favorite Kid-friendly restruant would have to be IHOP-which can be found anywhere. My kids love this place-and the staff are always friendly toward kids. Both can be found nationwide.

78. Alicia on March 10, 2009 at 4:01 p.m.

    Woodbridge, VA has a HUGE IKEA and they have many kid friendly things in the store. We love to go there. Plus they offer free breakfast most Sat. mornings.

86. McKim on March 10, 2009 at 5:21 p.m.

    This is a great contest, since my wife and I do a lot of traveling. One of the places that we love to go to is Jungle Island. My daughter just loves all the different kinds of birds. It is located in Miami, Florida. It used to be known as Parrot Jungle.

    I hear from my friend The Big Backyard is a great place for kids. Basically an all enclosed large warehouse full of play areas for different ages. it's in new berlin, WI

92. Jenn on March 10, 2009 at 6 p.m.
    

    My favorite attraction that's nearby is the Asheboro Zoo. Lots of animals and a great walking trail that lets you feel like you're moving among the animals, not just peering in cages.

    I love to take the kids to the Beaverton Park during the Saturday Market in the summer time because the farmer's market is awesome and there is a water feature that the kids love to get into.

    As a military spouse whose husband is constantly deployed, and Mom of 4 I do a lot of traveling back and forth between Ft. Polk, La and my home in Jacksonville, Fla. I typically break the trip up into 2 days and enjoy stopping in Biloxi, Mississippi at the Keesler Inn on Keesler AFB. They have a family suite that is affordable. It has 2 bedrooms and a full kitchen. It also has a high chair for my baby and they offer other baby supplies. Plenty of room for them to run around and stretch after a day in the car and very family friendly.

100. Heather on March 10, 2009 at 6:53 p.m.
     

     I live in the Dallas area. There are two outdoor shopping centers that are great to take the kids to!

     One is in Garland, called Firewheel Town Center. The other is in Cedar Hill. I can't remember the name of it though.

     They are great because you can stroll the kids around in the stroller and if they get rowdy in the store, you can just walk out, and you are outside.

     They both also have play areas that are great for the kids! They can play after you shop and get worn out, to go home and take a nap!

     the friendly toast restaurant in portsmouth is great because it is loud enough that folks cant hear a baby and there is so much stuff on the walls to keep a little ones attention.

     I visited the Children's Museum in Appleton, Wisconsin and everyone was very friendly. They even have a special room for children 3 and under which my daughter loved! This was her first time at a children's museum and I'm glad that it was a smaller place with not too much traffic.

     Sesame Place in Bucks County PA is awesome! It's a wonderful little amusement park for kids. It's clean, staff is friendly, and the kids love it Two thumbs up for sure. Thank you, I could so use this!

     Here in Hayden Idaho we have a Holiday Inn that is attached to an indoor water park called Raptor Reef. It is awesome to be able to take the kids swimming and let them ride the waterslides at 80 something degrees while its only twenty degrees outside! We love it! Thanks for the giveaway!

     My firstborn was born in Turkey and we traveled all over the world with her. I would have to say the most family friendly city was Rome! Now pregnant with my 2nd daughter after 5 years of trying I need a new travel crib.

     We love going to the Wild Animal Park just outside of San Diego. It is a part of the San Diego Zoo, and so has all of the great animals, but is less crowded and provides more opportunities for the family to see the animals in more natural settings.

114. Rindee on March 10, 2009 at 10:11 p.m.
     

     When we travel, we love to look for the exciting out of the way places that give an opportunity to see the city without so much crowding that make it hard to keep track of our kids. In Seattle, we love visiting the Ballard Locks. You can see the ships go through between water ways and watch the fish swim up the fish ladder. Also, the hills are great to roll down.

115. Rindee on March 10, 2009 at 10:13 p.m.
     

     Another great out of the way place in an exciting visiting locale is the Cloisters in NYC. The museum and grounds are both beautiful, and it is hard to believe you are in Manhattan!

116. YEVETTE on March 10, 2009 at 10:33 p.m.
     

     THIS WOULD BE GREAT FOR A FRIEND WHO DOES NOT HAVE INTERNET SHE LIVES IN GERMANY AND TRAVELS HOURS TO GET HERE TO TEXAS THIS WOULD BE GREAT FOR HER!:) KID FRIENDLY PLACE WOULD BE INCREDIBLE PIZZA HERE IN MESQUITE, TX.OR EVEN GREAT WOLF LODGE NOT TO FAR FROM HERE THEY HAVE A INDOOR WATERPARK.

     I live close to HersheyPark in PA. We bought season passes and took our son (2 y/o) a lot last year. The kiddie rides are spread out so if you have older kids it is a nice set-up. The older kids can hit the roller coasters while you take the little ones on the kiddie rides all in the same section of the Park. Also, the new water park is so much fun so don't forget your bathing suit!!

125. Kristina Jones on March 11, 2009 at 5:40 a.m.
     

     My kids love the kohl children's museum which is north of chicago. It's the best children's museum i've ever taken them to! I love that the exhibits are such that my 1 year old and 3 year old can play side-by-side with their 5 year old cousin! It's great!

126. Linz on March 11, 2009 at 5:50 a.m.
     

     Discovery Place in Charlotte, NC is very, very kiddie friendly and a fun place as well.

     The Cheesecake Factory bring your LOs a tray of fresh bread and banana slices to nibble on before lunch/dinner arrives! The tray arrives almost as soon as you sit down, to keep those fussy babies content while getting in the high chair. They will also bring over to-go silverware for LOs to bang around the table, instead of the real deal. Thanks Cheesecake Factory.

     Our family to a trip to lawrenceville, GA and we stayed at the Comfort Inn. Our 4 year old had an asthma attack and we couldn't fly home that day so the hotel found us a room(they were full that night). The manager was so great he told my husband that if we needed another night he would find us another hotel close by.

     Whale's Tale waterpark in Lincoln, NH. They have a whole "kid's area" where they can play and not worry about being hassled by the older kids. The water never gets higher than 16" and there are little slides and fountains etc.

     I can't believe no one has recommended the Happiest Place on Earth; Disneyland! I had never been until we took our first family trip five years ago and we have gone back every year since! They truly do everything they can to make your stay magical!

141. Lydia on March 11, 2009 at 6:53 a.m.
     

     We drive across the US to visit family. Several places come to mind. One place we have stopped several times is out in North Dakota, at the White Buffalo. Kids can be outside in fresh air and see wildlife, along with the white buffalo, and other buffalo. The town is Jamestown along I-94. There is a giant statue of a buffalo that you can see from the Interstate. There are different things to do there, walk along a boardwalk, peek in old buildings, go through a small museum, with a store.

     a place called Rascals. its like chucky cheese but no cardboard pizza. they have wall climbing and bowling, along with the games to earn tickets for stuff. fun place

144. Sarah on March 11, 2009 at 7:03 a.m.
     

     I honestly haven't traveled very much with my 4 month old yet. We did take a trip a few weeks ago and I was impressed by the "family" restrooms at the turnpike rest stops. Plenty of room to move around and change the baby, without having to be in the middle of a busy women's room.

146. Xiomara Reina on March 11, 2009 at 7:12 a.m.
     

     My favorite kid friendly restaurant is Monty's in South Beach, Fl. It has a pool facing the bay, so the kids can play in the pool while the parents eat on a table facing the pool.

     I live in the Indianapolis area, but I drive two hours north to visit the Ft. Wayne Zoo. It was ranked one of the top children's zoos and for good reason. You get to walk right into the kangaroo cage and many other cages to be with the animals. Some animals are even walking around. There is a petting zoo and rides in each area like a log boat and a train. It only takes about 3 hours to walk through it, but it's absolutely one of the greatest kids' zoos around!

     Oops- forgot to include my tip- sorry!!! I live in the D.C. area and the Great American chain of restaurants is great with kids! They have a team approach, so there is always someone to help or get you something if you need it and they have call ahead seating, so there's no waiting around in a crowded lobby with a squirmy toddler. :D

As for attractions, the zoo is always a good bet, and Boise has a good one! I am from Indy, though, and wish we had the wonderful Children's Museum that they have there! thanks

     While vacationing on Mackinac Island, Michigan, we stayed at a great family-friendly hotel called the Inn at Stonecliffe. They have a huge yard for children to play and ride bikes and a nice complimentary breakfast that you can share with your family in the dining room every morning. The rooms are large, with plenty of room for children to play. Most of the families in the hotel have children, so new friends are easy to make. In fact, the whole island is family friendly and great for bike rides together.

     We took our boys to Myrtle Beach the beginning of September last year and stayed in a great family resort for WAY less because the week we went started "off season" rates. It was still 85-90 degrees outside. The rooms had a full kitchen so we really saved by not having to eat every meal out. The resort had 4 pools, 2 lazy rivers, and even a miniature golf course and it was right on the beach!!! www.landmarkresort.com

     I love to visit the Michigan State University horticulture gardens in Lansing, MI, with the kids. There is lots of room to run around, great flowers to look at for the adults, but the best part is the children's garden, which includes a tree house and play animals to climb on, and lots of fun activities. There is also a "scent" garden where you can touch the plants. They even have a pizza garden which gets kids interested in how food is grown and what it looks like before it ends up on our plates! Great for kids ages 1.5-110!

     In my area there is a great place called Incredible Pizza Company (think Chucky Cheese). On Tuesday nights they offer a package deal with a childs buffet and a "game card". This game card will allow the child to play as many games as they can within a two hour time slot. This is really a better deal then shelling out money for each and every game your child plays. Great food, and entertainment.

If you go with children then they get the following items for free, plastic table protector, cup to keep, crayons, and for small children a complimentary baby plate. This plate comes with applesauce, cheese, turkey, crackers, and oranges. This is the most kid-friendly restaurant I have ever been to.

200. Vicki on March 11, 2009 at 11:17 a.m.
     

     We love Mimi's Cafe for kids... they bring applesauce and some snacks for the little ones to enjoy before the meal comes.

     If you are traveling in the vicinity of Santa Claus, IN you should really check out Holiday World. It is a family friendly theme and water park. The drinks are free and my kids have a blast everytime we go!

     The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry(OMSI)in Portland Oregon, has many fun activities for children of all ages. They have a wonderful science playground.

     For kid-friendly and budget-friendly fun in Houston, TX I must say the newest downtown attraction - DISCOVERY GREEN is the place to visit. It is FREE! There are beautiful grounds where kiddos can play (green grass, water works fun, etc) and you can have picnics and all sorts of fun. On weekends there is a farmers' market and there are many concerts, special events, etc. that are open to the public. You can look them up on the web and get all kinds of useful information and a schedule of events. What a wonderful place to play - for the whole family.

     We stayed in a motel in Lancaster Penn. that was child friendly. I had my 2 little ones, and my Twin sister had her 3 little ones (one was a tiny infant!) The motel manager gave us the last two rooms at the end of the hall across from each other so that that that noise (there really was not much) would NOT bother us!) They Brought whatever we needed.
     The name was the BlackForest Motel. I will never forget that.
     Maybe he was afraid WE would be noisy?? hahah we weren't!

     with a 2 year old charmer it seems like any place we go is good for him. But we especially like to go to our local AppleBees here in Vancouver as well as McGraths Fish House. Both places are very receptive of 'younger patrons' and even cater to him a bit!

211. Christina Livingston on March 11, 2009 at 11:59 a.m.
     

     We live in Van Buren, AR and one of my girls favorite places to go is Creekmore Park in Fort Smith, AR. It has an awesome playground, huge pools for adults and kids, and the best thing(according to my girls)is the neat rid on train they have that you can take a ride around the park on for .50 cents a trip.

212. Rachael on March 11, 2009 at 12:07 p.m.
     

     My favorite kid-friendly place is near my parent's home...a coffee shop with its own room to let the kids play while you sip your coffee! Very cool.

     We traveled around Tokyo with a 12 month old, and it was really great. All the places are very kid friendly, especially the shopping malls with comfortable areas for feeding and changing babies.

     I highly recommend the book Tokyo for Kids, and to visit Puroland ( Hello Kitty Theme Park )

214. Robin on March 11, 2009 at 12:18 p.m.
     

     Artist's Point in Grand Marais, MN is a great place to take kids. It is a rocky outcropping right into Lake Superior near a small boreal forest. While you need to keep an eye on toddlers, it is fun to climb all over and the views are amazing. In fact, the entire town of Grand Marais is kid-friendly.

215. Linda on March 11, 2009 at 12:19 p.m.
     

     We've found Homewood Suites hotels to be very family-friendly. The rooms are large and they'll put a high chair in the room if you ask.

216. Heather on March 11, 2009 at 12:20 p.m.
     

     How funny--I was about to say OMSI, too. The huge baby/toddler/preschool play room means a family with a wide range of ages can enjoy it.

     The Gilbert House in Salem is a smaller, but also fund option. Their outdoor play structure is a huge hit in the spring and summer.

217. Meg on March 11, 2009 at 12:21 p.m.
     

     I love the Treehouse Museum in Ogden, Utah. It kept both the toddlers and the pre-teens entertained for hours of interactive, physically active, mentally stimulating fun :o)

218. Elizabeth on March 11, 2009 at 12:26 p.m.
     

     Middleton, WI (best town in America, last year per US News and World Report) has an awesome kids' splash park with sprinkler-type apparati for kids and lots of comfy benches for parents.

     We live in Washington, DC and lovelovelove the Building Zone at the National Building Museum. While the adults are off looking at exhibits, the kids (and one accompanying adult) can play with giant legos, a variety of Tonka trucks, different kinds of blocks, books, puzzles, etc. And it's free.

220. ikate on March 11, 2009 at 12:37 p.m.
     

     I'm a big fan of the Marriott hotel chains, but Fairfield in particular is very kid friendly. Most have pools, a great breakfast and are very accommodating to guests with kids.

     Like the time I requested a dozen towels I needed to roll up and create a barrier around the edge of the bed the night our toddler decided she was too big to sleep in a pack-n-play and wanted to sleep in the 2nd queen bed. They were there with my request in moments and even helped me create the nest for our girl.

     In Philadelphia PA, Please Touch Museum is great for kids.

223. Heather on March 11, 2009 at 12:42 p.m.
     

     Personally, I love the Philadelphia Zoo. A great place to keep young ones entertained - and contained at the same time!

     I know this sounds crazy but Chick Fil A in Atlanta, and likely other markets, does a great job of providing high quality food and a fun atmosphere. They appear genuinely family friendly.

226. Janella on March 11, 2009 at 12:47 p.m.
     

     If you are in Ann Arbor, MI and love food, you should go to Zingerman's Deli. The give out samples of everything in the Deli and have amazing costumer service. Also, they have a special dining area for kids upstairs and a sand box with toys out back for kids.
     

227. Janella on March 11, 2009 at 12:49 p.m.
     

     Zingerman's in Ann Arbor, MI is foodie heaven and is very kid friendly. They have a play area out back with a sand box and a chalk board. If it's cold outside they have a very kids friendly seating area upstairs that also has a chalk board.

228. Jen on March 11, 2009 at 12:58 p.m.
     

     A really great trip with kids is to go car camping. I was nervous the first time, but we found a great place to camp with young children- Peninsula State Park in Door County, Wisconsin. It had the nicest campgrounds I have ever seen, and I have seen many. It is beautiful there, with great bike trails (rental bikes and trailers available) and hiking too. Plus, the cute towns of Door County provide things to do in addition to the outdoors.

     I guess this is bit of a plug, but as a librarian/mom I'd have to say your local library is pretty kid friendly. I know ours is: Pleasanton Public Library. From story times, to summer reading games, local libraries have a lot to offer.

231. Judy on March 11, 2009 at 1:24 p.m.
     

     Here in Wichita, KS., we love kids. there are many family friendly places to go and enjoy. One unique place is Exploration Place. To say it is a Science Museum is to miss the beauty and charm of this place on the river. There is an unusual golf park and a one of a kind walking bridge that has to be seen to believe.
     I would love to win the travel crib. thank you.

232. Nicole J on March 11, 2009 at 1:28 p.m.
     

     The Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia is a kid's dream come true. It's big, interactive, and always something new. Also in Philadelphia, The Smith Memorial Playhouse and Playground is a must-see for kids under 5 and free!

233. Kate on March 11, 2009 at 1:30 p.m.
     

     We love the Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago. It has several exhibits that young kids would enjoy (making a toy, farms, etc), and doesn't talk down to kids.

234. Gloria on March 11, 2009 at 1:30 p.m.
     

     I know that this one may seem pretty obvious - but Disney World! We live a few hours away and we all just can't get enough! Disney is fun for everyone...and of course - kid friendly!

     We found amazingly awesome kid accomodations at Disney World! We had saved for years to go there and it was so wonderful! Our hotel did anything and everything you could think of to make our kids comfortable! Also, my son has a very severe nut allergy and every single restaurant at all of Disney World went above and beyond and made him feel so special! It was the best vacation ever!

     Children of ALL ages love the Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Smithsonian Museum in Dulles, Virginia. The museum is filled with all of the airplanes that don't fit in the Air and Space museum in downtown DC. There is a fee to park, but entrance to the museum is free. Every child I know prefers Udvar-Hazy to its downtown partner.

     Just over the Wisconsin boarder from Illinois in Lake Geneva is Timber Ridge Lodge. My family as a whole have gone there and so have my siblings taken their families. (I am the oldest of 7 siblings). All my nieces and nephews love this place. It isn't too far from our neck of the woods (northern Illinois) and yet it feels like you aren't at home.

252. Marci on March 11, 2009 at 3 p.m.
     

     We have a wonderful swimming pool that has a zero entrace side to it and has water splashes and springs. It also has a deep swimming area for the older kids and adults and a water slide too.
     It has picnic tables and green grass to sit on with trees if you want some shade. We spend alot of time there during the summer.

     We are Currently living in Anchorage, Alaska and one place that we think is child friendly is Seward, Alaska. There is so much scenery and is so gorgeous to take the family hiking or even just all the gorgeous mountain views all around. Also, Alyeska is a wonderful area for skiing, snowboarding, or if you are more of an indoor person they have a wonderful salon and spa all located in the hotel :)
     Thank you for what you do. Its awesome to see wonderful and amazing giveaways such as these.

     The Children's Museum in St. Paul, Minnesota... so many activities for a variety of ages, plus a room that changes themes frequently.

     Another favorite... the Como Zoo in St. Paul. Right next to a park with space for the kids to run, have a picnic, or grill. Plus the admission to the zoo is free will offering, and you can't beat that!

     There is a fabulous park in Cronulla, Australia. The park is enclosed with a soft ground and the cafe across the street 'The Nun's Pool' takes your coffee order and delivers. Not to mention the fact that the beach is a two minute walk from the park.

     The NJ childrens museum is the best children's museum I have visited. It's housed in a warehouse and each room has a theme. My son loves the construction room where he can sit in a real digger and then play in a huge sandbox. There is also a fire truck, helicopter, huge play house section... and they all have costumes.

273. Judith T on March 11, 2009 at 4:35 p.m.
     

     Hi, we have always felt that a fair distance from us, but close enough, was Hershey Pa. To bring the kids there was delightful, because it is kid friendly, also same vicinity is Dutch Wonderland and that was great too.
     Thanks for a chance we have our first Grandchild now 5 months old...prize would be great!

     If you are staying north of Chicago, the best little kid-friendly restaurant is called the Choo-choo Restaurant in Des Plaines, IL (600 Lee Street, Des Plaines, IL 60016 (847) 391-9815)
     If it's your child's birthday, it's even better! Your child will get a cupcake delivered by the little locomotive that travels around the restaurant while a boppy form of the Happy Birthday song plays! FUN!

     My favorite Kid-friendly shopping experience is at IKEA because they have a child drop off center where you can check your child in, receive a pager, and shop kid-free for up to 1 hour. Helps tremendously when you are furniture shopping.

     We have the most amazing free park/petting zoo by us called Maymont. It is right out of Richmond city in VA. There are animals to pet like cows, pigs and sheep and rescued animals to marvel at such as bears, foxes and birds. They have a Japanese garden and a waterfall as well as an small indoor aquarium and cafe. It is a favorite destination for the kids as well as the adults (us). We have picnics on the grass and make a whole day of it. The best part is it is only about 25 minutes from our apartment.

281. Bess on March 11, 2009 at 5:11 p.m.

     Cyrus O'Leary's in Spokane, WA - it has tons of cool toys and displays all around the restaurant, and it is close to Riverfront Park and the 'Big Red Wagon' - a huge Red Flyer/slide that keeps kids entertained for hours!

     We haven't taken our 7 month old to too many local attractions yet, but he loves a trip to the beach - Goat Rock Beach on the Sonoma Coast is perfect. And we're planning to take him to the Bay Area Discovery Museum in Sausalito very soon. They have wonderful exhibits, even for very young children (crawlers & early walkers). http://www.baykidsmuseum.org/

     We love Triple Play in Hayden, Idaho. It is an indoor water park which is so great since we just got 4 inches of snow yesterday and it was 2 degrees outside when I went to work this morning! :)

     My family really enjoys the Florida Aquarium in Tampa -- they have a Toddler Water Park there that is Awesome! http://www.flaquarium.org/

     We also enjoy snow tubing at the Wintergreen Resort in Virginia -- they have a toddler tubing park that my daughter just loved -- just the right size hills for a little one!

     I love this local fish and seafood restaurant in our area. It is packed full of airplanes and trains and fun things for little eyes to look at. They also have a barbie and ken doll that they move around everyday that takes some time to try and find while you're eating. My two year old thought this place was so cool.

     We live near Seattle, WA, and we love to go to the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks in Ballard. We love to watch the boats go from the ocean up to the lake and vice versa. Also the salmon runs in the summer are really fun for the kids to see - they have viewing windows at the fish ladder and you can watch the salmon jumping upstream. Lots of fun! The Fish Hatchery in Issaquah is also a great place to see some salmon.

     If you're in the SF Bay Area, the best place to bring your kid is "Six
     Flags Discovery Kingdom" (FYI, it used to be called "Marine World")
     They have "Shouka, the Killer Whale" show, Tiger show, Dolphin show, Sea Lion shows, Animal interactions and educational programs, and a variety of rides, for the kids and the Grown-ups.

     I am a huge fan of Squaw Peak Hotel in Phoenix AZ. It is a nice hotel and has a water park included for guests. Families have all they need for a fun filled vacation without ever needing to leave.

     I'm not too familiar with kid friendly places close to me, but I grew up in Colorado and they have a dinosaur museum where your kids can actually dig up some bones themselves. I always loved going there as a kid, and I'll be taking my son there when he's older.

307. Lisa K. on March 11, 2009 at 10:13 p.m.
     

     Our favorite attraction is the Children's Museum of MN. My toddler and baby love spending time there. It's a great Saturday afternoon activity for the family.

308. Jill Myrick on March 11, 2009 at 10:15 p.m.
     

     The most child friendly places that I have actually encountered are in our own town.
     Our bank has a large childrens play area that my children love to play in while we are inside. And my local grocery store has taken my children to the service desk several times and given them ice cream and entertained them while I have grocery shopped.
     We live in a really great and friendly town.
     Thank you so much for offering this wonderful giveaway.

     I love the Children's Museums in both Indianapolis and Louisville. Also COSI in Columbus, Ohio. These are all about 90 minutes to 2 hour drives from Cincinnati which makes for several great options for day trips with the kids!

310. amida on March 11, 2009 at 10:28 p.m.
     

     We love San Pedro Valley Park in Pacifica. It has the perfect climbing tree, little traffic, and the kids love to run around and play there. Almost all the birthday parties and get-togethers happen there.

     Great giveaway! Someone else already mentioned the Palo Alto Jr Museum and Zoo, but I have to 2nd it. It's the right size for my 23 month old and not too overwhelming. Best of all, admission is free, although they ask for a suggested donation of $3. Totally worth it.

315. Michelle on March 11, 2009 at 11:58 p.m.
     

     The Indianpolis Zoo is a great place for kids,big & small! The family membership is a great cost saver and many a wonderful day has been spent there! Very nice giveaway, Thank you!

     A real kid friendly attraction here is the old train they turned into a playground attraction! I've even taken family pics on it.

317. Julie on March 12, 2009 at 4:36 a.m.
     

     Our favorite kid-friendly attraction is Frontier Town Campground and Western Theme Park in Berlin, Maryland, just outside Ocean City, Maryland and Assateague Island. The campground is so family-friendly! Besides being close to the beach, there is so much to do right at the campground! They have a great water park, mini golf, the western theme show, plus it's located on the bay, which is great for boating and crabbing. We love it!

     Hailing from NYC: The American Musuem of Natural History's Marine and Ocean life exhibit or "the whale room". There is a massive whale suspended from the ceiling above three levels of aquariums filled with all types of marine life. The BEST part is the huge video screen on the ground floor, suited for romping or rolling around on, with footage of all types of marine life and their various sounds. GREAT for adults too.

     I would definitely have to go with Disney World Hotels in Orlando. They know most people come there with kids so they have attractions and amenities on site to entertain the whole family. One day I will stay in the animal kingdom lodge that overlooks a savannah of animals.

324. Lara in South Riding, VA on March 12, 2009 at 5:54 a.m.
     

     A favorite place to visit is the Brevard Zoo in Florida. We stay in Daytona when we're down there, so it's more than an hour away but so well worth it! You can even feed the giraffes - amazing experience for the kids.

325. Estelle on March 12, 2009 at 5:59 a.m.
     

     Peabody Museum in New Haven, CT -- GREAT dinosaurs, and fun for kids of all ages.

326. Kathy on March 12, 2009 at 6 a.m.
     

     In general, Swamp Tours in Louisiana and Florida are kid friendly activities.

     If you want to travel, Jamaica is very kid-friendly. The people are kid oriented and the beaches of Montery Bay and Negril are as calm as swimming pools.
     
     A restaurant that we LOVE close to where we live is Montevideo Pizzerea in Elizabeth, NJ. It's a total family place, but the menu is filled with good non-pizza food too.

327. Emily on March 12, 2009 at 6:11 a.m.
     

     My husband, son & I are going to St. Croix in June and this would be perfect!!! So far our favorite place to travel with our son has been on a Carnival Cruise. He could eat when he was hungry, sleep when he wanted to sleep, swim or play at any time and we had lots of fun too. Thanks for the opportunity!

     The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo (runs late Feb - March, yearly) was great for my 13 month old!

     A few things comes to mind for travelling near and far with my kids.

     We make the trip to South Africa (my home country) almost every other year. The kids are so good travelling for such a long distance!

     In South Africa the best family restaurant is the Spur Steak Ranches. The kids get coloring pages and hats, balloons and they almost all have videogame arcades or play areas. They are a chain restaurant all over SA.

     In London the best tip is take the City Bus tours - it is worth the money. You can hop on and off anywhere or just stay on.

     In Arizona where I currently live there's lots of free camping places in the state, the boys loves just the outdoors and exploring. Also at the Grand Canyon National Park the Maswick Lodge has the best cafeteria style restaurant. Prices are good and you can choose whatever you want to eat -(mac n cheese for the kids) It's always a must stop for us visiting the GC.

     I would LOVE this. I can't tell of too many kid friendly places as we haven't traveled much with our little guy yet; however, there is a great event in East Lansing Michigan. It is called the Great Lakes Folk festival and it is extremely kid and family friendly and a wonderful opportunity to expose your kids to a wide variety of international music genres with energetic, live performances. We LOVE this festival and the best part, it is FREE.

341. Amanda on March 12, 2009 at 9:08 a.m.
     

     I will simply reccomend a country! I think that Argentina is a fabulous place to travel with children. Hotels and resturants are for the most part ALL kid friendly.

     We love Discovery Science Zone (the black cube) in Orange County, CA. So many parents come to OC for Disneyland & miss out on this great place! They rotate the exhibits & our favorite was the Sesame Street one!

     ANY PARK!
     Parks are dirty and diggable. They have critters and such to explore. You can run, talk loudly, and be silly. Parks are perfect for kids! Every vacation of ours includes a national, state, or local park visit.

348. Sarah P on March 12, 2009 at 10:40 a.m.
     

     We've found that typically any hotel, even the cheaper Super 8 motels that we've stayed in, work fine for our little one. As long as you don't stay near an ice machine you're good! Those are loud! But Disney World definitely is the best, without a doubt, for catering to kiddos.

     WHAT A FANTASTIC GIVEAWAY. MY DAUGHTER IS EXPECTING & WOULD LOVE THIS!

350. Madison's Grandma on March 12, 2009 at 11:41 a.m.
     

     Austin Texas has oodles of things geared towards kids!! Austin has a new Children's Museum! It's a terrific, interactive space that even the smallest toddler will find entertaining. There are cool things to play with, colorful displays, and huge climbing structures to keep the kids amused for hours.

     The Austin Austin Nature and Science Center in Zilker Park. It has a collection of native animals that have been injured and can't be returned to the wild for whatever reason. There is a coyote, a coati, a bobcat, and lots of other animals, including a raptor section.

     A fav with all the kids is the Dino Pit. The Dino Pit is a great big sand pit where the floor of the pit has replicas of the various dinosaur bones found in the area that the young archeologists can "dig" up.

     Best of all, it is FREE. They ask for a donation to help feed the animals, but if you can't afford it, you can still get in.

     The Austin Zoo is a very special zoo because it is a "rescue zoo" that provides a home to animals that have been neglected. They have about 100 species of animals. You can buy food at the zoo and feed some of the animals, which is always a hit with the kids.

     What a great giveaway! In Atlanta, there are a lot of really wonderful restaurants to bring your kids to. In the area called the Virginia Highlands there is a pizza/pasta place called Osteria that is family friendly and has great kids' meals. Right next door is Atkins park that has a play area for kids and they pasted their menu in the front of great children's books. I went every weekend to one of the two places when I babysat for a family over the course of 3 years.

352. Katie on March 12, 2009 at 12:09 p.m.

     I'm a fan of the Marriott chain for baby friendly hotel service. They provide a nice travel crib, blankets, and even a teddy bear. Also, with Marriott, you always know what you're going to get--so there's none of that trepidation about whether or not the bed will be comfy, sheets scratchy, etc.

     The Little Farm in the Berkeley Hills (CA). Way better than a zoo. Free, maybe 10-15 species of animals, and plenty of room to walk and run.

     We took our 14 month old daughter to The Dominican Republic in October. We stayed at Club Med Punta Cana and had the most amazing vacation. They have daycare for children 4 months and up, with tons of scheduled activites. The care providers were amazing and Paige loved to go and play. The had a splash pool and would put water wings and sun screen on all the kids, took them down to the beach with sand toys, and had daily walks around the resort grounds. It was so nice to enjoy some quiet adult time but still have so many activities to share with her too! All the restaurants are super kid friendly too!

381. Crystal on March 12, 2009 at 7:50 p.m.

     Here in Sandy, UT we have an annual membership to The Living Planet Aquarium. We also love The Mayan Restaurant. It has a rainforest setting and divers do a show from high on top the rocks and dive into a pool of water.

     Kid friendly: the Field museum in Chicago... during the cold winter months, there is no better place for kids to run up and down the halls pell-mell. It makes for a good nap time!

     Although I didn't have any kids at the time, I found the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills to be very unexpectedly kid friendly. They have the most fabulous Sunday Brunch buffet on the planet. They also have a buffet set up for little kids on short tables that are their height. They have gourmet kid friendly food, like mac and cheese, PB & J, pizza. So cute and fun! Thanks!!

     A great kid friendly (and therefore parent friendly!!) place is the Wildflower Inn in Vermont. They have all kinds of programs for kids during the day so parents can go out by themselves as well. They also have special weeks designed for kids and grandparents and kids. Not to mention, the accommodations are fantastic and the views are amazing! www.wildflowerinn.com

     Our favorite kid friendly spot is The City Museum in Saint Louis, MO. Countless nooks and crannies to explore and more opportunities to run jump and scream than anywhere else! Adored by kids and adults!

     Our fav restaurant Matt's El Rancho in Austin, TX is very kid friendly. They have an outdoor section with a pond that the kids love to look at. It is a little noisy inside, so we put the noise canceling headphones on the boy. The kids can scream though and no one notices! Thanks!

     My husband and I took my three year old son to Pensacola Beach, Florida so that he could enjoy it for the first time. The water is incredible, the sand is the whitest around, and it's a very family friendly area...not a party city like a lot of the other areas in the panhandle. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express on Fort Pickens Road, and were shocked to find that it was one of the NICEST hotels on Santa Rosa Island. They went above and beyond to make my son feel special. They even gave him a shovel and bucket to build sandcastles with and to hold the hundreds of seashells he found. Great place!

     I like the blue man group in Las Vegas. It's a clean show with a lot of visual gags. The last time we saw it there wee kids in front of me that were cracking up, it was great. It made the show better.

407. Jinxy on March 13, 2009 at 1:22 p.m.
     

     We take our 11 week old everywhere with us. Since she is so little its easy and she sleeps through most everything. Something I'm looking forward to doing when she's bigger is taking her to the zoo when we go to central CA to visit family.

     There's a wonderful museum near my house that I take my children too all the time. It's called the Zimmer Childrens Museum. Believe me when I tell you that the kids could spend all day and night in there. So many things to captivate their attention, and the chance to learn so much!

It's part of the Smithsonian, so it's FREE, open every day (including holidays), and warm and dry no matter what the weather. There is a nice picnic area as well.

     The last time I took my kids to Disneyland, we stayed at the Doubletree which was not really slated as a children's hotel for the area, but I'll say I was impressed, they gave each of my kids a little backpack with disney treats, made special kids breakfasts for them in the morning, and made my stay very easy! I would highly recommend them!

     In Louisville, Ky, we found the Louisville Slugger Museum Factory was a great visit for kids. There is a giant, giant bat leaning against the outside of the building that fascinated them. You get a guided tour of the bat factory and you can buy a bat with your name on it. Great fun.

441. M Taylor on March 14, 2009 at 5:36 p.m.
     

     We have the Ground Round here. One side is a lounge and the other is the "dining room". They have a calendar of events and specials. Like sporting events and 2 for 1 wings. They also have a family night where you pay what your child weighs. My DD is 19lbs so we only pay .19 for here meal. They also have a person that comes around to each table and does magic tricks and makes balloon animals. We are going to Florida (from Maine) in March 09 and this travel bed would be a big help!

     One of my favorite restaurants is Mimi's Cafe. I love that they bring the kids a plate while you wait with cheerios and fruit. They also get a little "dirt pudding" after dinner that is fun for them. It just makes a dinner out more special for the kids and easier on mom and dad!

     We really like Dynasty Buffet in Davenport, (Quad-cities) Iowa. They are always excited about our little ones, they price by age, and they Chinese food is actually really good, with a HUGE selection. Even the pickiest eater will find plenty to eat here...

     Ok, let's see. Our kids LOVED Hong Kong Disneyland because it was small and easily achievable for small legs. We all enjoyed The Bronx Zoo in New York, and Taronga Park Zoo in Sydney. Western Plains Zoo at Dubbo, in western NSW Australia is an open range style zoo (though you're not actually IN amongst the animals) and the Early Morning Walks there are FABULOUS!

     We would love this! Our favorite kid friendly place (besides Disney World) is at the Great Wolf Lodge. It's my kids' favorite place to go, especially the rooms that are decorated to look like a Wolf's Den. They get to share bunk beds, have their own TV, and go swimming indoors all day! It's pricey, so we go just for ONE NIGHT and swim all afternoon and then all day after checkout.:)

     This is my second recommendation. For something free to do in Berkeley CA, there is an incredible park area called Totland, tucked into a residential area at Virginia and McGee. It's designed for children under 5, has lots of toys strewn about for community use, swings, slides picnic area, the works. It's also completely fenced in with clean sand. Oh, and it's free as a bird.

     I like the Wilderness Water Resort in Wisconsin Dells, WI. It is totally geared toward families with children so we never feel out of place or like we are bothering anyone. They have water activities for kids of all ages and plenty of lifeguards keeping watch. Thanks for the chance! justicecw@hotmail.com

     If you are in hte Minneapolis /St. Paul area, a very nice day trip with younger kids is the Como Zoo and Conservatory. It's free (donations appreciated) and small, but has a nice variety of animals and some really pretty gardens. There is also a small ride and playground area next to the zoo (for a fee). It's a very nice relaxing way to spend the day.

     In Seattle, we love to go to Atlas Foods for breakfast. There seems to be at least one kid at every table, and they have no shortage of high chairs or car seat slings. They also have a stroller parking area, and really good food.

     Hotel trips are usually spent without the kiddos. But our new yearly favorite attraction is the JDRF Walk in Tempe, AZ. You walk a 5k for a great reason and then they always have kid friendly stuff....bouncers, music, games, giveaways, handouts, etc.

510. Annie on March 16, 2009 at 3:51 p.m.
     

     Kid friendly - and the coolest day ever - at Pacific Science Center in Seattle. Hands-on science, learning, IMAX, dinosaurs, and pretty much everything else you could hope for in a day.

511. Ginger Stark on March 16, 2009 at 4:04 p.m.
     

     The original kid-friendly restaurant with REAL food (grilled chicken, brocolli, etc..) is Macaroni Grill. Kids even get to color on the table "cloth" with crayons provided.

     We like to go to New Hampshire in the summer. We stay in North Conway in the MT. Washington Valley. The hotels and restaurants are very child friendly. We take the kids to nearby "StoryLand". It's wonderful for children.....the owner worked for the "mouse" company ( not sure if I should say the name? ) many years ago asnd created a great family park for the perfect day trip. Thanks!

     Carnival Cruise was one of the very best trips I took with my children. The staff where very helpful and they had things everyday; most of the day for the kids to do. My husband and actually got sometime to ourselves while the kids where busy with activities however; the cold I got when I got home was not a cold - Surprise I was pregnant! Definitely a vacation for both the kids and mommy and daddy!

     I can't really give the best advice because I am pregnant with my first little one - due in May. But when my sibilings and I were little my family always took summer trips to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. It is so laid back and relaxed there - no big crowds. We always had the best time. Thanks!

     We have tried a bunch of places for my little girl.... she loves the park close to home with swings. Other than that, kid friendly place that we frequent for sat morning brunch is Caffe Galleria in Lambertville, NJ. Great food and a quiet place to relax. My little girl loves the muffins they serve there - they toast it and has berries in them - yummy. A cheap option for her is going to the Oxford Valley Mall, PA - they have revamped the place and have a indoor play area for kids with slides, tunnels and the like with a changing area and sanitizers. I let her run around while I sit for sometime. Fun activity while we go window shopping.

     The Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia is one of the most interesting places for all ages. Although it's aimed at the kids, my husband and I loved it too. They have one of those musical keyboards on the floor like in the movie big. My 1 year old thought it was amazing. It really is a kids and big kids paradise. A must do!
