“Family” and “tradition” are two words that define the Mexican culture and there is no better day to celebrate both than “El dia de los Niños” or “Children´s Day”. Every year children throughout Mexico look forward to April 30th, a day where youth is honored, and people celebrate innocence, playfulness and the unlimited potential of the child. While parents typically give small gifts on “Children’s Day”, it’s the time together that is most important. Families devote the day to spending time with the kids, a day at the beach, a special dinner or neighbourhood party.
In honour of “Children’s Day”, we’ve got some ideas on how to celebrate family while visiting Cancun and the Riviera Maya, kid-friendly days that will put smiles on everyone’s faces, youngsters and grown-ups alike.
For a magical experience for all ages, Xcaret Park is the ideal place to visit. Babes in arms will marvel at the beautiful colours and incredible wildlife, the butterfly pavillion is always a hit, while toddlers and preschoolers will love the beach area and vibrant shows. Paths can be navigated with strollers so mom and dad don’t have to worry about tired arms! Older kids and adults will be thrilled with snorkeling in the protected lagoon area and swimming the underground river. This is an “all-inclusive” day, everything you need for one price, food, drinks, equipment, entertainment and 80 hectares of natural beauty await. This is the perfect way to experience all the incredible things the Riviera Maya has to offer, flora and fauna, water activiites, culture and history, a day the family will never forget.
For a full day of fun on the high seas and an island adventure, the Caribbean Funday tour is sure to please. Start your day with a cruise on a double-decker boat crossing the bay from Cancun to Isla Mujeres, a tropical island paradise that was once a pirates’ refuge. On arrival at Isla Mujeres, you’ll find yourself at a beautiful private beach club with incredible views! Waterslide, kayaks, snorkeling, organized games and activities, the whole family will find something to enjoy. The Caribbean Funday is an “all-inclusive” day, eat, drink and be merry and enjoy the facilities, play hard or just relax, this is a great family day.
The experience of a lifetime for your Cancun or Riviera Maya family vacation awaits at Dolphin Discovery. Swimming with dolphins is a dream come true, an opportunity to get up close and personal with these amazing marine creatures with their perpetual smiles. Get a fishy kiss, an embrace or the ride of your life with the famous foot push, Dolphin Discovery in Cancun/Isla Mujeres and the Riviera Maya has programs suited for all ages and abilities. Children as young as one year old will revel in this magical day. In addition to dolphins, you can meet manatees, sea lions, sting rays and even have a chance to snorkel near sharks! Create lasting memories of your family time together as you make new marine friends in paradise.
From all of us at Cancun Travel, we wish you and yours a very happy Children’s Day. Hug your kids, remind them how special they are, forget about the messes/tantrums/runny noses, and heck, embrace your inner child and let loose, everyone deserves a little play time.
