When we recently spent three weeks in Indonesia with kids, our trip began and ended in Singapore. During our four days in Singapore with kids, we stayed at three different family-friendly hotels in Singapore.

Singapore with Kids: 9 Things to Do + 4-Day Itinerary
We visited Singapore with kids twice as bookends to a three-week family trip through Indonesia, which gave us the chance to experience two very different sides of the city. On our first visit, we stayed in central Singapore and focused on family-friendly attractions like Singapore Zoo, Gardens by the Bay and the ArtScience Museum. When we returned at the end of our trip, we stayed on Sentosa Island for a few days of waterparks, the Singapore Oceanarium and other kid-friendly activities.
9 Best Things to Do in Zagreb with Kids
Croatia is packed with well-known family destinations, from Plitvice Lakes and Hvar to Split and Dubrovnik, but Zagreb with kids was one of the biggest surprises of our trip. It was the starting point for our family trip to Croatia, and while we originally saw it mainly as a convenient place to begin, we quickly found there were plenty of worthwhile things to do in Zagreb as a family.
Food Safety in Mexico: 8 Tips to Avoid Getting Sick
Travelling in Mexico with young kids made us think about things we might not have worried quite as much about on our own. Food safety in Mexico was one of our biggest concerns, especially when it came to drinking water, brushing teeth, washing produce and figuring out what was safe for our kids to eat. I knew Dan and I could be careful, but when we rented a condo in Playa del Carmen for a month with our 2- and 4-year-old kids, we wondered how realistic it would be to keep them from swallowing tap water in the bath or eating something that might make them sick.

Renting a car in Cancun gave us the freedom to explore the Riviera Maya at our own pace, and we were very glad we had one for our month-long family trip. But we also learned a couple of important lessons that I wish we had known before picking up our rental car at the Cancun airport.
Isla Mujeres with Kids: Things to Do + Day Trip Tips
Just a short ferry ride from Cancun, visiting Isla Mujeres with kids is an easy way to add a fun island day to your family vacation. We loved the slower pace, the chance to explore by golf cart and how simple it was to combine sightseeing with time by the water.
Best Mayan Ruins for Kids: Chichen Itza, Tulum & Coba
Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula is an incredible place to introduce kids to ancient Maya history, but choosing the best Mayan ruins for kids isn’t as simple as picking the most famous one. Chichen Itza, Tulum and Coba are all very different experiences, especially when you’re visiting with young children.
Xel-Há with Kids: 22 Tips for an Amazing Day
The Riviera Maya is packed with incredible eco-parks, but Xel-Há stands out for families who want to spend most of the day in and around the water. Visiting Xel-Há with kids means snorkelling in a calm inlet, floating the river, exploring family-friendly attractions and taking advantage of an all-inclusive setup that makes the day easier to manage.
6 Best Riviera Maya Eco Parks for Families
The Riviera Maya is one of our favourite places in Mexico to visit with kids, thanks to its beautiful beaches, cenotes, Mayan ruins and huge variety of family-friendly activities. But some of our most memorable experiences have been at the Riviera Maya eco parks found around Playa del Carmen, Akumal and Tulum.
