Stuff to do for kids
This is a one stop outdoor mall. During the warmer months, there's a splash pad right by the frozen yogart store that you can hang out at if you have small kids. Bring a change of clothes. There's a movie theater, a barns and noble book store, and any kind of restaurant you'd ever want.

This is a huge water park with a wave pool and fun slides. There are lockers you can rent to put your stuff. Bring sun screen, flip flops, your own towels, and lots of drinking water.

This park has a playground, a splash pad, a train with a little jail at the end that kids seem to like going inside of, and a carousel. My kids love this park. Bathrooms are kind of gross though so try to go before you head over there.

This park is rather basic but in short walking distance from the house. It's not gorgeous but it has a lot of grassy areas to run around and a play ground with swings and slides. This is a nice park to help the kiddos get their energy out.

Sightseeing
This is a scenic place that you can either just enjoy a stroll or bike ride, or you can rent a small boat to go on the water. It's right in walking distance of Mill Avenue where all the bars and restaurants are so this is a fun place to go on date or just with a group of friends. Often, there are concerts held here too.

Delicious, albeit not as authentic, but healthy and just up the street Mediterranian food. I wouldn't suggest walking there, but it's a 3 to 5 minute drive.

Delicious and super kid friendly Italian restaurant. If you are bringing your kids, ask them to give them some dough to play with while you wait for your order. Pizza cookie for dessert is divine!

If you want yummy sushi and Saketini's, check out this place. It's just about a 2-3 minute drive from the house. In the plaza, there are other Asian restaurants but we hadn't tried the other ones.
