3 of the Best Family Friendly Destinations from Around the World
There’s a great big world out there that’s waiting to be explored by you and your little ones. While packing up the kids for a trip to a far away land sounds like an exciting prospect, it can be soon dampened by the thought of the kids not enjoying themselves, which in turn means that the adults probably won’t enjoy the trip either.
When it comes to choosing a family-friendly destination for your next family getaway, know that not all places are created equal. That’s right – some destinations are bursting with child friendly activities while others are definitely more suited to us older generation of travellers.
On that note, I’ve compiled three of the best family friendly destinations from around the world with each one meeting a criteria of easy accessibility, plenty of attractions and activities that will keep the kids entertained to no end.
- London, UK
Although it might just be a little close to home for some, London is a city that’s bursting with all kinds of things to do for both small children and teenagers alike. With attractions such as adventure playgrounds, theme parks, the Warner Brothers Studio Tour, Madame Tussauds and the London Eye, it’s easy to see why London is always a city that rises to the top when it comes to child-friendly destinations from around the world.
- Toronto, Canada
A little further afield than London, Toronto is a beautiful city that screams out to families as it provides a great mix of things to do that can be made enjoyable for both children and adults. In choosing to visit Toronto, you’ll have the option of taking the kids hiking in the Don Valley Trails and spending some time exploring the wonders of the very popular Jamie Bell Adventure Park. And, it goes without saying that your little ones will be able to experience the once in a lifetime opportunity of seeing the power of Niagara Falls from the comfort of a luxury and child-friendly hotel such as the www.marriottgatewayonthefalls.com.
- Berlin, Germany
While the German capital city of Berlin might not immediately strike a chord as being a must-see for families with children, this very beautiful city is fast becoming one of the best places on the continent to bring – and be – a child. The city offers a great mix of sprawling parks and child-friendly museum activities, indoor and outdoor pools, puppet theatres, farm zoos and attractions such as Lego Land, Tiergarten and enjoyable activities on the lake. But, what makes Berlin so unique is the city’s ability to adapt its facilities and trends that are popular with adults to suit adults who happen to have children. An example of such an adaption is kindercafes – these are genius.
As you’ll have realised from the above, taking a successful trip with the kids is not all about booking into a gated beach resort or spending a week locked up in Disney. These three destinations are not your typical family-destination, but they do offer plenty of things to see and do for children and adults of all ages.
