Downtown Itinerary With Kids

We have family coming in for a week at the start of November. Grandma, grandpa, brother, sister-in-law, and two boys, ages 4 and 6. They're here for a national science convention, and this time, instead of staying with us, they're staying downtown at the Mayfair.

Brother and dad will be attending meetings, and mom, sister-in-law, and the boys will have days to explore. Starting with downtown, what would you recommend for things to do, places to eat? Remember, the boys are only 4 and 6, so fancy restaurants are a little beyond their attention span.

Things to do?

City Museum
Arch
Old Court House
Campbell House?
Downtown library
Shopping at Macy's
Union Station

Places to eat?

Wendy's
Fridays
Bread Co
Lion's Choice

But I know mom (grandma), likes to eat at nicer places, so what about some of downtown's nicer restaurants that would be okay with a couple of semi-active, nice boys? (appetites are not a problem.)

I was thinking of:

Dooley's
Downtown Cantina
Beffa's (but they won't have a car...they could borrow mine though; that'd work)

There must be some others. What about things to do?

You haven't mentioned any places my 4 and 6 year old kids would like very well. Museums are boring to them except for City Museum.

Turtle Park and the Zoo.

Magic House

Butterfly House
