The Cafe at the Palace sits inside Holyrood Palace and makes an easy stop with little ones — there are high chairs on hand, and plenty of vegan options alongside the pastries, mains and afternoon tea. When the weather's kind, the outdoor seating is a nice spot to let everyone spread out a bit.

A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
