Planning a holiday with kids requires a slightly different approach than traveling with just adults. Still, a family vacation can be an unforgettable experience for everyone involved. Just follow a few simple tips.
A relaxed holiday starts with relaxed kids. So keep their needs in mind when choosing your destination and hotel. Pick a place that offers something for all ages – hotels with pools, playgrounds, or kids’ entertainment programs are a safe bet. Also look at what's nearby. Amusement parks, family-friendly events, or sandy beaches for castle-building will come in handy.
If school schedules allow, plan your holiday outside the peak tourist season. You’ll avoid crowds, high prices, and long lines at attractions. With fewer people at the resort, you're also more likely to get friendly, attentive service. There’s a wider selection of accommodations and a calmer atmosphere – for your kids and for you.
The packing list for a trip with kids can get long, but try to pack efficiently. Don’t forget these in your carry-on:
Organize the bag based on when you’ll need each item. So snacks and wet wipes on top!
For smaller kids, it’s practical to bring a travel crib or foldable stroller. Many accommodations today already offer children’s equipment you can borrow. Ask in advance and make your trip easier.
Plan your daily activities around your children’s rhythm. Balance busy moments with breaks, and don’t forget food and nap time. A full day of sightseeing usually isn’t a hit with small kids. Instead, plan short trips, downtime, and games. Give kids choices so they feel included in the planning.
Every holiday brings moments to remember – even if things don’t always go perfectly. Take photos and videos of your adventures and get your kids involved – they can keep a travel journal, collect souvenirs, or draw pictures from the trip. When you get back, make a scrapbook or invite family and friends to watch your favorite holiday highlights together.
The most important thing when traveling with kids is flexibility and patience. Even if things don’t go according to plan, don’t stress. The best memories often come from unexpected moments.
