Here are some family vacation planning tips:
- When planning a vacation, remember the objective of the vacation. For instance is the vacation meant for relaxation, for learning, for unique experiences, or for fun ?
- Do not pack the day with many activities, which will exhaust the kids.
- As children tend to have shorter attention spans, do not plan activities which are exceptionally long; e.g. visiting the muesum for one whole day.
- Ensure that the places you are visiting welcome kids, as some attractions and activities have
- age limitations.
- Always investigate the policies for children; e.g. extra charges, height requirements, any child discounts etc.
- If you are visiting attractions such as museums, consider whether or not your child will be able to understand the materials presented.
- Don't forget to check out locations of child-friendly restaurants and have a happy meal with your kids.
- If you are travelling in a budget, do consider family-friendly hostels. They provide great service as well.
- Always be flexible during your journey, as children are likely to have different demands at different places.
