The 5yo has requested-suggestions needed

This evening while discussing holidays the 5yo has given her list of demands of what we need when we go on holiday-

Museum
Toy store
Beach/Pool
Aquarium
History/culture
Castles
Playgrounds

We would prefer some place that is not Britain in a foreign country and we prefer to self cater. No problem renting a car and we will also have a 1yo in tow. Ideally, warm for beginning of April due to our Easter holidays and hubby is having knee surgery this summer.

Recent holidays have been- Crete-Ag. Nik, Northern Portugal-Porto/Guimares, Milan, Zurich/Bern, New England-USA

If open to something like Eurocamp, the Vendée region in France would be great for this. Most campsites will have a pool and good park, La Rochelle aquarium and Sables D'Olonne zoo is great, good beaches, lots of castles and history to find. I'm not sure about specifically museums but I'm sure there are some.
Unfortunately not a hot climate in April but still worth considering as the airport is very easy to drive to campsites from.

I was also going to suggest the Vendée, spent two weeks there last summer and it ticked all those boxes. Unfortunately not likely to be overly warm in April though.
