Family Travel: Tips and Inspiration

Keeping Kids Entertained on Vacation

Keeping Kids Entertained on Vacation

One of the biggest challenges of family travel is keeping kids entertained. Long car rides, airport layovers, and downtime at the hotel can quickly turn into boredom and frustration for kids, which in turn can make the whole family trip less enjoyable. But with a little bit of planning, parents can ensure that their kids stay entertained and happy throughout the vacation.

Bring a Variety of Activities

One of the easiest ways to keep kids entertained on vacation is to bring along a variety of activities. Pack a few of your child's favorite toys, books, or games, or invest in some new ones that your child hasn't seen before. Consider age-appropriate activities like coloring books, puzzles, or handheld games. For younger kids, bring along small, quiet toys that won't make a mess or disturb other travelers. For older kids, consider bringing a tablet or e-reader loaded with books, games, and movies.

Plan Activities

Another way to keep kids entertained on vacation is to plan activities that they will enjoy. Research your destination ahead of time and find out what activities are available for families. Consider visiting a zoo, aquarium, or amusement park, or taking a hike in a nearby park or nature reserve. Many museums and cultural destinations also offer special programs and activities for kids, so be sure to check these out as well.

Involve Kids in Planning

Lastly, don't forget to involve kids in the planning process. Ask them what they would like to do on vacation and what activities they would enjoy. Letting kids help plan the itinerary and choose activities can not only help keep them engaged and interested, but it can also create a sense of excitement and anticipation for the trip.
