Walking distance from downtown Sonoma, MacArthur Place is an integrated inn and spa. The property has extremely comfortable rooms and the spa services are outstanding. The grounds are beautiful and fun for toddlers to run around. The staff is super-friendly and we found the onsite restaurant Saddles to be very nice, yet low-key enough for kids.

Over 400 animals roam free at Safari West and visitors can observe them up close in open-air jeeps or stay the night in stylish tent-cabins. This is one of those special places where it is easy for adults to enjoy themselves while kids are having a blast. The setting is gorgeous with scrub oak-covered hills—even without the animals it is a fantastic place. Riding in the jeep is a huge thrill for kids. The giraffes are incredible and there are some fascinating animals that I’ve never seen before. Little details are done very well—there is an outdoor BBQ for meals with a grassy area where kids can run around while adults sip wine. The tents are authentic, yet warm and comfortable.

Wonderful setting with mountain views from every direction. Hip, modern, and fun atmosphere and attitude. Kids, couples, dogs - the social environment at Solage makes it fun for a variety of age groups and interests. Separation when necessary makes it all work - there are family and adult pools, kids activities and an extensive spa and bathhouse. Everyone comes together for meals at the onsite restaurant where the food is phenomenal.

During our stay at The Westin Verasa Napa, there were more kids and dogs relaxing in the lobby lounge than couples on a romantic getaway. Part of the new riverfront development in the city of Napa, this hotel is a convenient and well-appointed home-base for exploring Napa Valley. The attraction for families at this property is the spacious, value-oriented guest rooms with kitchen facilities and sofa beds - it feels like having your own Napa apartment instead of a hotel room. The décor is casual, modern and tasteful. The service is friendly with an excellent concierge. This is not the typical vineyard-view, idyllic Napa getaway since the location is in town, but there is a nice pool and several good restaurants are within walking distance including casual options that are perfect for kids.
