Mars 2112
Mars 2112 features 35,000 square feet of space-based thematic fun. The restaurant is set up to create the illusion of dining on the Red Planet, and kids will be visited by aliens walking around to fulfill the sci-fi aspect of that illusion. A video arcade is just a bonus. The menu is definitely geared toward picky eaters. Selections range from chicken wings and quesadillas to turkey wraps and steak.

Jekyll & Hyde Club
It's Halloween year-round at the Jekyll & Hyde Club. This place is five floors of ghoulish fun, although very young kids might get scared. Actors in creepy costumes and wall decorations that suddenly come to life enhance the Addams Family-style atmosphere. Menu items include nachos chili, sandwiches, salads, pizza, pasta, chicken and ribs.

Serendipity 3
One of the most whimsical restaurants in town, if not the country, Serendipity 3 is a popular spot for families with kids. The soda fountain delights will have your kids drooling, but you can also get actual food. Menu items include hamburger and cheeseburgers alongside less traditional fare like blue corn nachos and pasta with sauteed artichoke hearts. Don't fill up on the entrees or appetizers, however, because you definitely want to save stomach space for the signature Frozen Hot Chocolate. If that doesn't grab your kids' attention, consider other incredibly tasty concoctions like the dark double devil mousse or the lemon ice box pie. The food at Seredipity 3 is secondary to the atmosphere and the ice cream treats, but it's still a good place to grab lunch and keep the kids happy.
