Kid Friend Recommendations for Charleston

[camcam1010]

Hi all, I am a lurker trying to post more regularly. 

My husband and I are planning a vacation to Charleston, SC the first week of October.  We will be bringing our almost 2 year old along for the ride. 

Does anyone have any recommendations for kid friendly activities and restaurants?  We will be driving so we will have a car available.  We are staying near downtown. 

Thanks!!

You can head over to Folly Beach, it's a short drive, but make sure to avoid traffic times.

The Kapla Block Store (Tom’s Toys).
Go to Tom Toys, your kid will be able to spend some time in there building things (or tearing them down).

I'm not a fan of this, but it's simply b/c I've done it too many times but if your a newbie you'll want to walk through the city market. I don' t know if it's kid friendly, but everyone has their kid with them and it's crowded but there is a lot too look at.
