  What’s on the menu: Hot dogs and chips, macaroni and cheese and other typical café fare share the menu with IKEA’s more traditional, Swedish-based entrees like Swedish meatballs and salmon.

Why your kids will like it: From the colorful dishes and utensils to the play area in the restaurant, kids are sure to have some fun. The best part of this restaurant is IKEA’s cafeteria-style choices; your little ones will be able to see their options instead of Mom reading down the menu. The play center, conveniently located near the drink fountains, has lots of fun games and activities and, of course, a TV.

Why parents will like it: From meals that start at 99 cents for kids (including drink) to the delectable Swedish chocolate cake, parents will love the prices and open and comfortable atmosphere at IKEA. The store caters to families with small children, providing highchairs, microwaves, bottle warmers, family bathrooms, and if Mom or Dad wants to shop – a free childcare center for the potty-trained little ones.
