Best Kid-friendly Restaurants

T-Rex Restaurant in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, is one of the best kid-friendly eateries in the U.S.


F
or restaurants' pint-size patrons, chicken fingers dipped in marinara can't taste any better than when there's butcher paper lining the table and a glass of crayons to color with. When the dough and toppings are put directly in your child's hands, pizza becomes an interactive sport. Okay, not all restaurants have to offer entertainment in this form or the extreme — television, clowns and video games — to keep the youngsters happy. A warm waitstaff, a kitchen open to the flexible whims of a child's palate and a room of diners tolerable of tantrums all add up to a winning formula for feeding your children outside of the home. Take a look at our lists of kid-friendly restaurants that can please both big and little diners.
