Parent tips
- Plan one anchor stop plus a café break rather than two big sights.
- Indoor play areas may have sock-only rules — pack extras.
- Nap time matters; malls can be easier than standalone museums for flexible breaks.
What to check before visiting
- • Minimum age rules for exhibits or play zones
- • Whether nursing and changing facilities are on your floor
