So, the main rule for all seasoned travellers with children is to organise leisure time in such a way as to harmoniously fit the interests of adults and the needs of the child into it. It sounds simple, but the art of juggling sights, daytime sleep, changeable moods, physical activity and meals requires at least motivation and organisation.
