Have You considered A Family Holiday To Mexico
If you are considering a slightly different holiday for the family this year, have you considered a luxury Mexican Vacation ?
There are so many amazing places to holiday, the beaches at Los Cabos are idyllic and perfect for a relaxing beach holiday. Whale-watching, hang-gliding, snorkelling, antique-hunting, golf, fishing, Loreto’s historic mission, sport fishing and dining in capital La Paz are just some of the attractions on offer.
Or maybe the Mayan Riviera, which offers an unforgettable Caribbean coastline experience. Use a zip line to descend into the sacred subterranean caverns of LabnaHa Eco Park, where you can snorkel an underground river under a canopy of stalactites.
The choices of accommodation are vast, and unlike so many tourist resorts, Mexico offers much larger villas and apartments that can easily cater for the larger families.
If you are looking for things to occupy the children, there are lots of different places to visit, here are my Top Seven Places to Visit with Children.
-
Kidzania
If you thought Kidzania was just in London, you are wrong, the Kidzania in Mexico is situated in Cuicuilco. So children all over the world can partake in role play of jobs when they are older. When the children arrive they are given a Kidso cheque they must deposit in the “bank”. Then it’s off to work. Choosing between a vast array of career choices, kids get training in their chosen occupation, earning more Kidso money.
Children can spend their hard-earned cash on craft sessions, buying gifts, or at a cafe when work is over. The child gets to make their decisions whilst the parents sit back and allow them to make their choices! It may give you an idea of their personality ready for when they go off to university, will they be frugal or will they be on the phone each week asking for a handout!
2. MIDE Museum
Here you will find a unique museum dedicated to economics, finance and sustainable development. The children can learn how the economy plays a large part in their lives and they can learn all about their carbon footprint. It opened in 2006 and features hands-on exhibits meant to make the basic concepts of economics fun and engaging.
