With an amazing history, infectious music and brilliantly colorful buildings, San Juan is one of the crown jewels of the Caribbean. Yet, for most families visiting Puerto Rico, San Juan is just a launching point for another adventure – either a family cruise in the Caribbean or for a week in Vieques with kids.
Destinations
Carlsbad Caverns with Kids
We’ve been lucky to have visited some pretty incredible caves in our world travels, including some in South Africa, Belize and the Canary Islands. Up until now, I thought they were all pretty impressive, but our visit to the Carlsbad Caverns with kids changed all of that.
White Sands National Park with Kids
If you are on a family trip to New Mexico, we strongly encourage you to visit White Sands National Park with kids. Home to the largest gypsum sand dune field in the world, the White Sands National Park is a truly special place. There are scenic drives and hiking trails for all capabilities to allow your family to enjoy the surreal, yet hauntingly beautiful landscapes within White Sands National Park.
Visiting Banff with Kids
We have traveled the world with our kids and have seen some pretty incredible places. Despite these amazing experiences, I’m not sure we’ve visited anywhere better for a family vacation than our own backyard, Banff National Park. A family trip to Banff with kids is an experience you’ll never forget.
Corcovado National Park with Kids
The main reason we planned a family trip to Costa Rica was to experience its incredible wildlife with our kids. When we heard that Corcovado National Park was one of the best places to see wildlife in the country, we made sure to add it to our three week Costa Rica itinerary with kids.
We almost didn’t go to Corcovado National Park as it’s very remote and quite difficult to get to independently. But then we discovered Sukia Travel, a local tour company which offers a multi-day family tour to Corcovado National Park based out of Drake Bay. We quickly signed up and we’re so glad we did – our family tour to Drake Bay & Corcovado National Park with kids was an absolute highlight of our Costa Rica family vacation.
Manuel Antonio National Park with Kids
When I first visited Manuel Antonio National Park in Costa Rica as a young, single man, I was sitting on the sand at the stunning Manuel Antonio Beach after an exhilarating jungle tour and I had the strangest thought… “When I have kids, I want to bring them here”. Fast forward to today and I’m happy to report that we just finished an amazing family vacation to Costa Rica with a memorable visit to Manuel Antonio National Park with kids.
France with Kids
If you are looking for one of the best places for a family trip in Europe, you should consider traveling to France with kids. With so many incredible regions to travel within France, there are few destinations in Europe better for a family vacation than France.
Chamonix with Kids
We are mountain people. We live in the mountains, we play in the mountains and yes, we travel to mountains. When we decided to spend our summer on a family holiday to France, we knew we had to visit Chamonix with kids. Yes, Chamonix looks a lot like our home in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, but there is something special about the French Alps around Chamonix which all families will enjoy.
8 Things to do in Annecy with Kids
When we decided to visit the French Alps with our kids in summer, we instantly knew we should visit Annecy, France. Located just north of the Massif Des Bauges UNESCO Global Geopark, Annecy and its namesake lake has a stunning natural mountain setting.
