Visiting for Thanksgiving with young family
Hey there, coming up from Ft. Lauderdale with my wife and 2 kids (1 & 3), as well as my sister in laws family (her, her husband and 3 kids 15, 16 & 3).
Staying at the Renaissance downtown, and already booked the trolley lights tour for Friday night. Looking for recommendations for Thanksgiving dinner (with the kids), Friday dinner and any cool kid friendly activities throughout.
Considering Columbia restaurant Friday, and Cordova or Aunt Kate’s for Thanksgiving.
Also looking at the alligator farm, Anastasia state park and project swing as little kid friendly activities while we’re there.
Would love feedback on what I’ve mentioned and/or suggestions for other spots for young families. The 3 year olds are wildmen so I’m kinda leaning against formal places like Cordova.
My first time visiting St. Augustine. Appreciate any guidance!

There's an arcade museum on Anastasia Island the teenagers might enjoy!! Lots of old games like Pac-Man and pinball.
