The McKinley Grand Hotel lives up to the grand in its name by having luxurious rooms, great food and a welcoming atmosphere for both adults and kids alike. In the basement, you'll even find a vintage car museum which is a fabulous place for dad to take the boys!
Samantha's is small, locally owned and has friendly waitstaff always intent to serve your every need! The seasonal pancakes are the best thing on the menu and a great way to start the day, I try to eat there as often as I can in the fall for the Pumpkin Pancakes, best I've ever had!

Iris is American Fare without the stuffiness of a restaurant that looks this nice inside.

The McKinley Memorial and Museum is in a large park that has a lot to offer. From large open spaces for children to run around or for a couple to share a picnic lunch, the green space in this area of the city is top notch. The History Museum & Science Center itself are really top notch for kids and history buffs. The memorial is a beautiful space that makes a wonderful backdrop for family portraits. More
