Children's museum is nice. Carriage rides are fun even though the kids don't much care about the tourism part. There's sometimes some good entertainment across from Jackson Square that kids would like. It's sort of the luck of the draw as to what's going on there, though.

Are you looking for casual dining and do you need restaurants with children's menus? Any certain types of foods?

For other things to do, don't forget the insecterium, a free ferry ride over to Algiers and back, and possibly a trip to the little amusement park at city park. I'm not sure how many rides your little one could get on, but they also have an area called "story land".

If you do an early dinner, I would think most restaurants would be ok.

Louisiana Children's Museum is nearby.

website

Streetcar ride to City Park where you will find cool stuff to do

Carousel Gardens Amusement Park - LINK

They have paddle boats and fishing in the pond.

They have a 24 hour beignet shop - Morning Call in the "casino" area.

You can take her for a snow ball - plenty of places.

Italiam ice cream at Angelo Brocato's - LINK

You can ride the Canal Street Ferry to Algiers Point for free as a pedestrian. It's a cool ride which puts you right down on the river with a great view of the city.

You could walk up to Canal and take the streetcar to Mandina's. Big menu. Casual and fine for kids.

Just something casual, didn't have any certain types of food in mind.

Where would I get on street car to take it to zoo?

You are looking for the St Charles street car line. Easy walk to St Charles from where your staying.

WC is a little pricey, but the breakfast is good. I had some other things while I was there recently. All good.

There's always Mother's in the next block for breakfast. Not a recommendation, but for informational purposes. My Dad and my nephew always walk over in the early morning to get a biscuit or something from there before there's a line when we're at the WC.

You can walk a few blocks down Gravier to Camp and go to the old Commerce restaurant for a standard breakfast. Fine roast beef poboy if you're around there for lunch.
