5 of the Best Places to Eat While the Kids Play
Every place here has an actual playscape on site, so you finish your plate while they burn it off in view.
A treehouse-and-slide playground in the middle of a huge tree-shaded lot, a soccer field, and a rotating lineup of food trucks. The gold standard.
A net playscape built into the trees with four zones, including a toddler area. Kids welcome until 7pm, then it turns into a bar.
Burgers and shakes with a playscape out front, and Amy's Ice Creams next door. The original Austin family dinner move.
An enclosed play area with a turquoise pirate-ship playscape, plus tacos and a beer list that takes itself seriously.
A playground, an open field for soccer, and a working goat farm on 165 acres. Make it the Saturday.
