5 Top FamilyFriendly Destinations In Mexico
The recently released Summer Travel Forecast report from Expedia revealed that Cancun is the top international destination on travelers' lists this year.
It’s not entirely surprising that Cancun is leading the pack, given that it has something to offer travelers of all ages and interests—making it one of the best family friendly choices in Mexico, as well.
If your brood has already explored Cancun however, not to worry. Mexico is chock full of family-friendly choices. From lesser known regions that allow family travelers slow down and immerse in local culture to fascinating cities and tried-and-true beach hotspots, there’s a long list of memorable choices.
To help narrow the list of family-friendly choices, we asked travel industry experts to pick their favorite Mexican destinations and explain why those destinations are a good choice for travelers with children in tow. Here’s the top five recommendations for families interested in exploring Mexico.
There are many reasons why the Riviera Maya region is a hotspot for families, says Michelle Osborn, owner and travel consultant with the Texas-based agency Outta Here Travels.
To begin with, there’s plenty of beaches to enjoy, which is an easy child pleaser. But that’s not all Riviera Maya has to offer.
“Families can enjoy snorkeling, kayaking, and paddleboarding, or visit nearby attractions such as Tulum or Chichen Itza,” adds Osborn.
Another popular family attraction in Riviera Maya is Xcaret Park, which offers more than 50 natural and cultural attractions including underground rivers, wading pools for younger children, a Coral Reef Aquarium, cultural shows, and even zip lining through the jungle.
If that’s not enough, the Riviera Maya area also features a range of resorts, meaning there’s an option for almost every budget. And as an added bonus, many of the resorts in the region offer a plethora of kid-friendly amenities. Think: water parks, kids' clubs, and special activities like building sandcastles or taking a cooking class.
Last, but hardly least, Cancun is a classic family-friendly destination thanks to its beautiful beaches, endless activities, and all-inclusive resorts. Perched on the Yucatán Peninsula along the Caribbean Sea, Cancun offers a traditional downtown area and a sprawling beachfront resort zone. Meaning, there’s plenty to keep families entertained.
“Families can enjoy water sports, such as snorkeling and parasailing, explore Mayan ruins, or simply relax by the pool,” says Osborn.
Cancun's many all-inclusive resorts are known for offering kid-friendly amenities, such as water parks and kids' clubs. And did we mention, many even offer babysitting services? Making Cancun a win-win for parents and children alike.
