We love The Hive dining experience. The lounge has a great cocktail menu and you can order appetizers. The pimento cheese with bacon jam is a favorite.
The Hive restaurant is a little more pricey than what you may want to spend on children and the menu is probably not to a child's taste so you might consider this for adult dining.

Scott Family Amazeum
1009 Museum WayWords cannot describe what a wonderful experience Crystal Bridges is. You are in for a real treat!
The museum is free, but if you want to gain entrance to some of the smaller, special exhibits it would be best to reserve your tickets ahead of time. For example you can walk around the Frank Lloyd Wright house but space is limited to ticket holders to enter the home.
Don't miss out on the walking trails and the outdoor art.
Tips:
Wear comfortable walking shoes.
Allow more than a day if you really want to take it all in!
