Finding child friendly holidays can be a pain. You never really think about it when you’re younger and without children, you don’t really know how your life will be changed and impacted in such a large way in that even find a holiday will become a whole different ball game. Luckily there are a number of large firms dealing in child friendly holidays, so you do have some choice in terms of where you go. The only problem with child friendly holidays is wondering if they’re particularly interesting and enjoyable for adults too. This is overall the biggest mystery when it comes to child friendly holidays, and something you’re going to have to research extensively. When a firm marks their holidays as child friendly holidays and that they’re for the family, they often mean that they’re designed around the children only. The campsite or facility that you will be housed in for the holiday are going to effectively be designed around children and children only, and in a lot of ways I suppose that does make sense. A bored adult is easier to handle than a bored child, a bored adult can read a book or have a conversation, whereas a bored child can be a lot harder to sate when it comes to entertainment.
If child friendly holidays are designed correctly there should be places for adults to enjoy themselves too, meaning that there will be cafes, bars, restaurants, sports centres, and other leisure facilities on-site that are designed for both children and adults. The best way to enjoy child friendly holidays is to actually enjoy it with the child you are with, not to be stuck on two separate speeds of enjoyment. Enjoy yourself doing the same activities as the child if at all possible, try out some sports with them, go swimming, enjoy a film, do some art. When on child friendly holidays you have the chance to unleash you inner child if only just a little bit, don’t be the stuffy adult who can’t have fun, enjoy yourself with child friendly holidays and remind yourself what it’s like to have unadulterated fun again.
