Kid-friendly restaurants in Ann Arbor

12 places

  1. 1. Zingerman's DelicatessenThe outdoor courtyard is a savior for parents with energetic children who need to move while waiting for sandwiches. While the indoor space is narrow and challenging for large strollers, the casual atmosphere and high-quality kids' menu make it a staple for a relaxed afternoon.
  2. 2. Cinemark Ann Arbor 20 and IMAXWhile primarily a theater, the concessions and arcade area offer a controlled environment for a quick family treat. The spacious lobby makes it easy to navigate with strollers before heading into a matinee.
  3. 3. Frita Batidos Ann ArborThe long communal picnic tables are excellent for families, though the high noise level and upbeat music mean your kids won't be the loudest ones there. It is a busy downtown spot, so arrive early to avoid long lines that might test a toddler's patience.
