If your daughter loves American Girl Dolls and Books, she will never forget a visit to American Girl Place.   The multi-level store is amazing and features several museum-like displays.  There is a doll hair salon and a photo studio where your child's photo can be put on her own special American Girl magazine cover (additional fee for both).   A meal in the cafe is lots of fun.  They offer little high chairs for dolls that have been brought with, or they even have 'loaner' dolls if you child has not brought theirs.  The meals are tasty and presented in a child friendly manner.  The wait staff was attentive and friendly.

FAMILY FRIENDLY PROS-  Lots for a little American Girl fan to see.  The cafe and shows are very child friendly.
FAMILY FRIENDLY CONS-    There is a fee for parking and it is not easy to find a spot that is located close.  The cafe is quite expensive especially for a family.
