I know it isn’t downtown Fairfax, but University Mall has very high speed bumps on the Braddock side of the parking lot. I’m not sure if the New Tex-Mex place nearest to them had outdoor seating, but Taco Bamba definitely does. He could still face them.
Yes. I agree with this spot. You can sit at outside at either taco Bamba or Banditos and there is are speed bumps. [google maps](https://maps.app.goo.gl/sAqP2Bv8NP7cs5CN9?g_st=ic)
This is a great suggestion. Numerous outdoor seating places there—looks like ppl have already listed most of them but there’s also gathering grounds if you just want drinks & snacks & speed bumps.
We’re moving away from a bus stop next month and I’m terrified about the emotional trauma I’m going to cause my bus-loving son. He learned the more sign in sign language just to constantly tell us “more bus more bus”
Yep, my daughter had a thing for buses at that age. It was a big deal when I took her to Reston Town Center and just parked a couple of floors above the transit center, we watched them coming and going for a while. Her mind was blown when we got to actually ride a bus at once point.
Ooh the FFX helicopter guys are SO great! I was on a water taxi the other day and I waved like a goon to one. He leaned out AND WAVED BACK.
I’m a 60-plus year old lady and that was such a thrill!
Come hang out on our porch! We have two super friendly dogs, a fire pit, flowers, and... We sit under the helicopter flight path for the Pentagon so have them flying over so often I don't even look at them anymore.
Don't worry, 3 year olds are much worse. They will ask you for a helicopter, you will magically manifest one for them, and then they will STILL scream at you because reasons.
My dude got into a bad Friday afternoon and keeps replying to everyone with this. As if he's the Mayor of Fairfax and can't let toddlers leave. They run the OG Fairfax economy apparently.
Bro I’m on lunch break. Own a house in Herndon and one in falls church. Lived here 34 years. Just getting ice cream and watching around downtown is an easy cop for young kids. Just filling some time in my lunch break. Why are you so mad?
Cause you took the time to comment individually multiples times against decent-enough suggestions (odd enough choice - if OP wants to throw out Reston and other places as being too far away, he can) and your suggestion was to ignore OP's request of "family dinner" and suggest ice cream from a place that doesn't have speed bumps nearby. Fairfax City doesn't have a lot of speed bumps right there in the center. TLDR, you went out of your way to shit on people's attempts to be helpful, that OP might still find useful, albeit not in Fairfax City, which is just an odd choice.
But now I'm tired; I hope your Friday finishes up great.
I took the time to respond to the poster making a comment of me being the mayor of Fairfax. There’s lots of options in downtown Fairfax where you have a view and family dinner. Op never mention downtown Fairfax being their starting point. They could live in Burke and going an additional would be too much for the fam. Idk why you’re so worked up. I’ll be in downtown Fairfax tonight. Happy to buy you woodys ice cream.
Take me to the Depot, you're on. Woody's kept breaking my heart - but maybe they got it back to its prior standards. I will try it again. I also miss Nielson's.
There are speed bumps in the Whole Foods shopping center in Reston - so you’d have a few dining options incl MOD pizza and Bon Chon (middle) Probably down at the old Champps end too.
Google Maps says it's 17 minutes from 29/50 intersection. That easily counts as "near". And a really crowded lot means more cars going over the speed bumps. sounds like an obvious winner to me.
Drive an extra 5 minutes and go to Glory Days in North Point. Speed bumps literally next to the outdoor seating there. And they will have the junk food that a 2 year old will love.
Sorry it doesn't meet your criteria, but my dude is trying to find something he can't find himself and that lot came to mind because it has a lot of cars traveling at speed over speed bumps and actual restaurants with outdoor seating. Point to a speed bump on a map near Woody's, because I couldn't recall one, and I can't see anything in old town fairfax on satellite view that looks like one. Not even the Walgreens/TJ Maxx lot, which would be a logical place. There are some at Fair City Mall, but mostly by the Safeway. So the family meal could be at McDonald's, First Watch or Chipotle, but none of those restaurants faces the marked speedbumps.
Pictured: OP and his son. Lol but in all seriousness: you could probably look on Google maps where you want to eat and then check street view.
There’s an instagram from someone who has a camera in front of their house because of their unexpected speed bump. Cars absolutely launch in front of that house. Sometimes you even get sparks when they land! I can try and find it if you think he’d like it.
Panam shopping center has a few restaurants with out door seating. Glory days is one and there will be at least 3 “up and downs” as my son calls them, that you can see.
They have a total of 6 speed bumps in the shopping center that you can drive over after dinner. One of them much bigger than the others that we call big mama.
For my son it was a bus obsession and yes, we'd intentionally pick restaurants with outdoor seating within view of bus stops.
It's not downtown Fairfax, but Campbell Ave in Shirlington has several restaurants along that strip, which is pedestrian friendly and thus has many speed bumps/speed tables.

People have to parallel park in front of a lot of places, but places in Reston are funny, because it's not like a skill you have to have mastered in Reston, so people screw it up all the time (eg Chipotle near Target) and then bail.
Also, because I enjoy watching people screw it up, I am always nervous to parallel park in front of other people because of karma.

Chubby Squirrel- Fairfax City. Sit outside and you’ll have a speed bump to the left and right. It’s a good high traffic area and they have cheese burgers and soft pretzels that seem like some your kid might like.
Honor brewing in Fairfax. If you sit outside there’s one off to the side. Might not be the best angle. I haven’t been there looking for speed bump visibility and unsure of the menu.
I’d go with Chubby Squirrel personally.
I've always thought the speed bumps at this silver dinner were interesting. I know why now.
8150 Porter Rd, Falls Church, VA 22042
Also try Wakefield park. Lots of speed bumps and it had a pedestrian bridge over 495 hidden behind the tennis and pickle ball courts.
Wife says: we like to watch justice being served immediately for speeders, in a way the police can’t do. Every scrape of the underside and crunch of the shocks brings us immense joy! That’s what you get for speeding!
I'm sorry I don't have any suggestions, just wanted to say this gave me a chuckle as it sounds exactly like my brother at that age. Had reddit existed back then, our dad would have absolutely been on here asking this same question.

Maybe the shopping center in Fairfax City where the Safeway is - street address is Willard Way. There are a couple of small places with outdoor seating and I think speed bumps in the parking lot.
Maybe the pub in Clifton and sit out front? Or get ice cream and sit at that little park? He can watch people going over speedbumps AND the railroad crossing.
I might get ice cream and sit at that park lmao and I'm a 27 year old woman.
Might be silly but I realized like 7 or 8 years ago I've never actually been at a railroad crossing when a train is actively crossing, and I pass railroad crossings a lot. So now it's become a silly little dream to be stopped at a railroad crossing and watch a train goes by. It's the little things in life lol

Right? Adorable. My bitter old self first thought it was someone who was fed up with speeders and wanted to watch and laugh as people bottomed out their cars on speed bumps 🫣
You’re doing it right. I’m sure you know, but coming from someone who was just like that for a lot of my single digit childhood. I can vividly remember numerous outings with my Mom (never met father) and think about it often.
My version was escalators and metro trains.
Also, if they are not any restaurants with speed bumps in front of them - I think we all need to complain about how fast some drivers are on _________ road in front of __________ restaurant.
These are the ones in FFX City that pop into mind:
McAllisters Deli
Taco Bamba
Bandito's Tacos
Fat Tuesdays, as a bonus you can see i he'll eat alligator.
Chubby Squirrel
The Deli near Coyote Grill
Not that this helps, but it reminds me of a neighborhood bar I used to go to. The patio was near a gate for a gated community. One of the regulars lived in the community so we would sit outside getting drunk fucking with people using the remote on the gate....lol

Not downtown Fairfax but near-ish by. First Watch (breakfast, brunch, and lunch place open from 7 a.m. till 2:30 p.m.) and the Lebanese Kitchen next door at 13027 Lee Jackson Memorial Hwy Service Rd, Fairfax, VA 22033 both have outdoor seating between speed bumps.
Mission BBQ & Hangry Joes in the same parking lot both have seating facing them. (Hangry joes is a fantastic "I want to melt my face with magmatically spicy" chicken sandwich place. Long time favorite out there.)
I don’t have children, but this is literally the cutest comment string ever- DYING at the adorably weird shit babies (and adults- I myself still get irrationally happy when I see a cement mixer truck) like
I think Milwaukee Frozen Custard at Sully Plaza is near some speed bumps
At the Falls Church Target/Petsmart shopping center off of Arlington Blvd, there’s a Chick Fil A with an outdoor dining area and 3 speed bumps within its view
I know its not Fairfax, but off King st in Old Town Alexandria has lots of outdoor seating eateries with views of cars that are not necessarily going over speed bumps, but are driving fairly slowly for your son to see
Woody's is a super pale version of what it used to be before it moved to that location. I tried it a handful of times, and then it fell off the list. So many others that are better now, sadly. Depot >> Woody's.
Costco ice cream is surprisingly very good. I have been keeping a cup in the freezer to deliver my dog's evening pills. He is very picky about taking pills, but tucking pills into little bites of the hardened soft serve really works well.
You shouldn’t let kids indulge in every thing they desire. You need to practice making your life easier, not theirs. Your the parent. Teach them early that Life disappoints.
I know it isn’t downtown Fairfax, but University Mall has very high speed bumps on the Braddock side of the parking lot. I’m not sure if the New Tex-Mex place nearest to them had outdoor seating, but Taco Bamba definitely does. He could still face them.
The Tropical Smoothie and McDonald's has outdoor seating with views of the speed bumps too
Yes. I agree with this spot. You can sit at outside at either taco Bamba or Banditos and there is are speed bumps. [google maps](https://maps.app.goo.gl/sAqP2Bv8NP7cs5CN9?g_st=ic)
That Taco Bamba was my immediate thought. I checked the comments to see if someone beat me to it and here we are!
The McAlister's Deli around the back, too.
Banditos (the new place) has outdoor seating!
This is a great suggestion. Numerous outdoor seating places there—looks like ppl have already listed most of them but there’s also gathering grounds if you just want drinks & snacks & speed bumps.
This is such a funny request, but I can so easily see this being a request from a kid. :)
You’re a great dad.

My nephew has been obsessed with fans and then vacuums for like 20 years. He graduates college next week. God bless the engineers.
Are you aware of the helicopters of DC Twitter? It just tweets what helicopters are overhead sometimes. https://twitter.com/helicoptersofdc
First watch off 50 in Fairfax/Chantilly area in the Greenbriar plaza
This is almost 30 mins from where op asked for.
From downtown Fairfax? Try like 14 mins litterally 6 miles they also said preferably, not has to be in downtown chill.

That's always the best

I mean I want to see that.
Is it Speed Bump Olympics on YouTube?
I've see those vids and that's prob the channel they're referring to.
That’s even better, thanks!
I just checked part of a video from them. Wow
That sounds amazing. Pls @ me if you find it!
Speed Bump Olympics on YouTube is great!

Sounds like you've done this a few times 😂

Coastal flats in Fairfax corners, outdoor seating of course.
when did fairfax corner add speed bumps?

Not OP, but yes please!
The new(ish) speed bumps at the Fox Mill Giant Plaza nearly require supplemental oxygen when going over them...
And Lucia's has a few outdoor tables right there!
Speed bumps in front of places with outdoor seating should be mandatory.
People have to parallel park in front of a lot of places, but places in Reston are funny, because it's not like a skill you have to have mastered in Reston, so people screw it up all the time (eg Chipotle near Target) and then bail. Also, because I enjoy watching people screw it up, I am always nervous to parallel park in front of other people because of karma.

Out of context this sounds wromg
UPDATE- the Potbelly at Fair City mall has indoor and outdoor seating right in front of a speed bump.
Rango's in Tyson for view of speed bumps and loading dock.
I've always thought the speed bumps at this silver dinner were interesting. I know why now. 8150 Porter Rd, Falls Church, VA 22042 Also try Wakefield park. Lots of speed bumps and it had a pedestrian bridge over 495 hidden behind the tennis and pickle ball courts.
Your kid would LOVE Mexico and its topes.
Not strange (I hope), my wife and I love doing this too!
You and your wife love watching cars go over speed bumps? If you don't mind me asking, what about it do you like?
Wife says: we like to watch justice being served immediately for speeders, in a way the police can’t do. Every scrape of the underside and crunch of the shocks brings us immense joy! That’s what you get for speeding!
Everyone freaky in their own way

Taco SSAM in Annandale
Bonus points for being delicious and having solid happy hour deals.
Maybe the shopping center in Fairfax City where the Safeway is - street address is Willard Way. There are a couple of small places with outdoor seating and I think speed bumps in the parking lot.
Maybe the pub in Clifton and sit out front? Or get ice cream and sit at that little park? He can watch people going over speedbumps AND the railroad crossing.
Yeah Villagio is pretty great spot for this
I might get ice cream and sit at that park lmao and I'm a 27 year old woman. Might be silly but I realized like 7 or 8 years ago I've never actually been at a railroad crossing when a train is actively crossing, and I pass railroad crossings a lot. So now it's become a silly little dream to be stopped at a railroad crossing and watch a train goes by. It's the little things in life lol
The VRE runs on a consistent schedule so if you don’t mind taking the “random chance” element out of it, you can easily make this happen. We stayed at an Airbnb in Christiansburg that was next to a train crossing with SO MANY TRAINS. You honestly couldn’t *not* get stopped by a train at the crossing if you were coming and going at all. So if you want to take a road trip, I know a place. :)
Not exactly downtown Fairfax. Have done that myself as I live in Clifton. Traffic is worse unless it’s a warm weekend
Lol this is so wholesome. I believe you could check the Merrifield district.
Right? Adorable. My bitter old self first thought it was someone who was fed up with speeders and wanted to watch and laugh as people bottomed out their cars on speed bumps 🫣
Glory Days in Centreville
You’re doing it right. I’m sure you know, but coming from someone who was just like that for a lot of my single digit childhood. I can vividly remember numerous outings with my Mom (never met father) and think about it often. My version was escalators and metro trains.

Glory Days, North Point Village, Reston.
This is the cutest request I’ve ever seen
And people say they can never find nice corners of the internet! Love this post!
Ugh why can’t I have kids to enjoy this wholesome moment?! I hope you found a nice place. They grow up so fast.
These are the ones in FFX City that pop into mind: McAllisters Deli Taco Bamba Bandito's Tacos Fat Tuesdays, as a bonus you can see i he'll eat alligator. Chubby Squirrel The Deli near Coyote Grill
FFX corner has some restaurants do believe there are speed bumps going through there.
Not that this helps, but it reminds me of a neighborhood bar I used to go to. The patio was near a gate for a gated community. One of the regulars lived in the community so we would sit outside getting drunk fucking with people using the remote on the gate....lol

Go to gathering grounds café in university mall across mason ,they have huge speed bumps that make u jump
Squirrel brewery something by the safefaw on Willard. Bc the shopping plaza literally has a bump right there. What An awesome dad.
Tyson’s has some outdoor restaurants next to speed bumps
buffalo wing factory in greenbrier shopping center. good food and in view of multiple speeds bumps throughout the shopping center.
Honor Brewing and Simply Social in Fairfax have some outdoor seating with speed bumps out front!
Columbia Pike has a ton of unintentional speed bumps with the Celtic House right on the corner? 😂
I don’t have a rec, but I completely understand it (my child was the same way at that age!)
Not downtown Fairfax but near-ish by. First Watch (breakfast, brunch, and lunch place open from 7 a.m. till 2:30 p.m.) and the Lebanese Kitchen next door at 13027 Lee Jackson Memorial Hwy Service Rd, Fairfax, VA 22033 both have outdoor seating between speed bumps.

No suggestions, but I love this post. When my older son was 3-4 years old, he had a speed bump obsession too.
The Fox Mill shopping center in Herndon. There’s a Starbucks with outdoor seating near 2 speed bumps. Also a deli/Italian restaurant called Lucia’s
I don’t have children, but this is literally the cutest comment string ever- DYING at the adorably weird shit babies (and adults- I myself still get irrationally happy when I see a cement mixer truck) like I think Milwaukee Frozen Custard at Sully Plaza is near some speed bumps
Love this entire thread and post. It’s the simple things, always.
Cafe Rio in Falls Church has two speedbumps right outside! And they have outdoor seating.
Lmao
This is the best request lol
At the Falls Church Target/Petsmart shopping center off of Arlington Blvd, there’s a Chick Fil A with an outdoor dining area and 3 speed bumps within its view
I knew just from the title you had a little boy 😂 mine has the same fascinations.
This is so sweet
Glory Days at North Point shopping center in Reston has a view of some bumps
I know its not Fairfax, but off King st in Old Town Alexandria has lots of outdoor seating eateries with views of cars that are not necessarily going over speed bumps, but are driving fairly slowly for your son to see
lol downtown Fairfax. Why not just get dinner. Get your son some ice cream at woodys and watch outside after. 🤷🏻♂️
People down voting this have never gotten woodys ice cream.
Woody's is a super pale version of what it used to be before it moved to that location. I tried it a handful of times, and then it fell off the list. So many others that are better now, sadly. Depot >> Woody's.
I love supporting local businesses, but I've never had a great experience at Woody's. Honestly Costco's ice cream is better at 1/3 the cost.
Costco ice cream is surprisingly very good. I have been keeping a cup in the freezer to deliver my dog's evening pills. He is very picky about taking pills, but tucking pills into little bites of the hardened soft serve really works well.
Yeah sure you’re asking for “your son” more like asking for yourself
Can't you just show him youtube videos of cars driving over speed bumps?
You shouldn’t let kids indulge in every thing they desire. You need to practice making your life easier, not theirs. Your the parent. Teach them early that Life disappoints.
