Children are welcomed at all nine sit-down restaurants at The Broadmoor. (Though, I personally wouldn't take a young child -- or any child, for that matter -- to the ultra-upscale and sophisticated Penrose Room.) High chairs, children's menus and coloring sheets with crayons are available at all of the restaurants, as well as the modern (and excellent) Summit restaurant.
Lake Terrace Dining Room
For breakfast, I recommend the Lake Terrace Dining Room, with a sumptuous buffet option for all, as well as a "youth menu" for children age 10 and under. The kids' menu in the morning features mini-waffles, junior omelets and chocolate-chip pancakes. Charles Court also has an excellent, varied breakfast menu -- again, with one especially for children -- and it's a delight to sit on the open-air patio.
Golf Course Dining Room
For lunch or dinner, consider the family-oriented Golf Course Dining Room, with its casual atmosphere and great patio seating. At lunch, find sandwiches, salads and pizzas; dinner entrees may include Rocky Mountain red trout, rib-eye or pork medallions. The kids' menu includes chicken tenders, cheeseburger, pizza or spaghetti. My children are still talking about one of "the best desserts we ever had": the "Out of Bounds" sundae, with chewy brownie, three scoops of ice cream, Oreo topping, hot fudge and whipped cream. (Yep, it was pretty great.)
Tavern Restaurant
Finally, the Tavern has been serving savory steaks and seafood to The Broadmoor's guests since 1938. Sit with your kiddos in the main dining area, where there's live music and dancing Thursday through Sunday nights, or in the glass-enclosed atrium, filled with lush foliage. The children's menu includes a petit steak -- much appreciated by my 'tween daughter who likes red meat as much as her daddy!
