...center field, a promenade where Geno's and Tony Luke's offer their famous cheesesteaks, and the Phanatic Kid's Corner, where children can dress their own mini-version of the Phillies mascot. With a sandbox behind the outfield wall, San Diego's Petco Park is also kid friendly. Trolley rides to the waterfront park and the old brick warehouse in left field are among Petco's other charms. The downside: the San Diego Chicken, the team's beloved mascot, isn't coming out of retirement. The Padres Friar will have to do. --By Sean Gregory

You?re walking down Main Street and suddenly a horse-drawn trolley pauses and a half-dozen kids jump off and start dancing as a showtune plays. At the castle several times a day, Cinderella and friends act out a lively tableaux for the edification of those in the plaza below. The cumulative effect, over a couple of days, is to convince the children that they are in another country - on another planet - where, at any given moment, something extraordinary might happen. ?I want...
From the moment we step onto the red-and-blue trolley car, Ann, our guide, begins to whet our appetites. Between the required recitations of chocolate factoids, the former school-bus driver jokes with passengers in a grandmotherly fashion and regales us with descriptions of her favorite chocolate concoctions. The statistics and dates tend to slide from my mind, replaced by thoughts of Ann’s homemade chocolate ice cream and other wholesome goodies...
