Travel destinations for enjoying with your kids, a big problem for families with kids. Let’s list some places that are good for kids. Costa Rica has gained prominence as one of the top eco-friendly tourism destinations in the world. The Central American country is brimming with amazing learning opportunities and once-in-a-lifetime experiences for families to enjoy together, and 2019 is finally delivering on affordable family friendly accommodations. Guanacaste is a natural fit for families visiting the verdant country. Highlights include Las Baulas Marine National Park, the nesting ground of the endangered Leatherback turtle who deposit their eggs on the beach here October through March. Vandara Hot Springs offers adventure seekers an unforgettable race through tree tops on a canopy zip line. And there’s also fishing, swimming and snorkeling along the pristine shores of Flamingo Beach.
Scottsdale, Arizona – Scottsdale is a golf, tennis and spa mecca, and families are welcomed with open arms. The dry desert air works magic on winter-weary bones of all ages. The Westin Kierland Resort offers tweens and teens nonstop fun with the FlowRider, a machine that lets you pseudo surf in the desert. Giant swimming pools and numerous children’s programs are also on the menu.
The area just south of Danang – past the big resorts and near Magic Mountain – is our favorite in Vietnam and one of the best in Southeast Asia. (Both the sand and sea are cleaner here than at the more popular beach towns of Nha Trang and Mui Ne.) Seafood, cold drinks, and ice cream can be bought at the small beach shacks but water fun is the main attraction here. Stay at the super fun and relaxed – and very cheap – Hoa’s Place if you’re able to.
Parents may love rubbing shoulders with political power players, but at this grand Georgetown hotel, kids will go gaga for the urban glamping (that’s glamorous camping, folks) experience executed for petite guests. Rollaway beds are tricked out with tents and stocked with a mini robe, National Geographic magazine, and a coloring book. The “campfire” element comes in the form of a toy stove outfitted with a pan of (vanilla marshmallow) sunny side up eggs, a pot of Twizzler-made spaghetti and meatballs, and a mini grill with fresh fruit kabobs. Of course, you’ll want to coax the kids out of the room to explore the city’s incredible clutch of monuments and museum. Book the hotel’s Monuments by Moonlight tour. From $870 a night.
