Las Vegas

 

While most people first think of casinos when they hear the word Vegas, the city is now one of the top places for families. Today’s casino resorts keep families in minds and have attractions for them to enjoy in order to attract a variety of visitors and not just those who play online. For instance, the Mirage Casino includes a manmade volcano, a Dolphin Habitat and a family friendly venue, Siegfried & Roy’s Secret Garden.

Paris, France

 

Home of the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, Paris also has some points of interest specifically designed with children in mind. One of the best children’s museums. Le Cite des Enfants, is located here. The museum provides two different experiences for children based on their age.

Kids love anime cartoons so why not plan a holiday around this interest. Tokyo is the birthplace of anime and has many different activities for families. Also, enjoy museums located in the city such as Tokyo Sea Life Park.

 

Playa del Carmen, Mexico

 

With its sunny location on the Mexican Caribbean, the sparkling sandy beaches can be enjoyed by families. Consider the ancient history here by exploring Mayan sites or visit a cultural theme park like Xcaret (in photo).
