If you'd like to put a smile on your kids' faces (and let's be honest, it would be strange if you didn't, right?), one foolproof option is a trip to Čopomana. The kitchen of this exceedingly welcoming café is known to produce some of the best cakes in town, while during the spring and summer months the homemade, all-natural ice cream does such an efficient job of drawing in the local neighbourhood children that even the Pied Piper of Hamelin would be jealous. However, what really sets Čopomana apart is their willingness to organise children's birthday parties, with specially tailored workshops where the pint-sized chefs can try their hand at preparing cakes, macarons and the aforementioned ice cream – which of course then gets eaten or taken home to share with parents. All in all a highly recommended destination for kids of all ages and anyone with a sweet tooth. To get there, it's just a few minutes' walk from the city centre down Celovška Cesta along Tivoli Park or two bus stops to Stara Cerkev.
