Family Friendly Places to Visit in San Antonio, TX

Texas is a larger than life destination for families. The Lone Start State is absolutely huge and there are so many different cities with their own unique and interesting cultures. On our first trip to Texas a couple months ago we spent time in Austin and San Antonio and had a fantastic time with the kids. We spent most of our time in San Antonio (more than a week) and had a long list of activities we wanted to do. Even with 7 + days in the city we didn’t get to see everything we wanted to. Here is a list of our top experiences in San Antonio and a few that we didn’t get to visit.

Three Things We Love About Discovery Children’s Museum Las Vegas

You have no idea how surprised I was when my research of Las Vegas for family friendly activities revealed a highly rated children’s museum! We were there last year for a little less than a week and I wanted to pack in as many activities as possible with my girls during that time. Children’s museums are always a hit with our kids so I was sure we’d have a good time.

Food Republic Review

We sailed the Norwegian Escape a while ago because A) we are cruise lovers who found a great off season deal and B) it was the newest ship on the market at the time and we wanted to experience all the bells and whistles for ourselves. This cruise was a girls cruise (my best buddy and my two daughters sailed with me) and fortunately we are all foodies! We had Food Republic high on our list of places we wanted to eat during our cruise on the Escape. Food Republic was all over the NCL website and promotional videos we’d seen. It was also featured in a lot of Youtube videos by other cruisers. This was clearly the place to eat if you were headed onto the Escape and we wanted to see for ourselves. Well, the restaurant totally lived up to the hype.

Crococun Zoo

One of our favorite places to travel to as a family is Riviera Maya, Mexico. It’s is an easy 2 hour flight from central Florida and provides a host of activities for all of us to enjoy. Aside from the gorgeous beaches you can find Mayan ruins, cenotes (underground swimming holes), shopping, and more… On our last visit to the region we decided to stop at the Crococun Zoo, an interactive animal experience we had heard a lot about.

Cane Garden Bay Tortola

Tortola is a quaint, small island in the British Virgin Islands. Consisting of only 21 square miles and gloriously perfect beaches it’s a perfect spot for those looking for peace and quiet on vacation. These qualities have made it one of the most popular cruise destinations in the Eastern Caribbean. There are many flawless beaches on Tortola and Cane Garden Bay is one of the most popular, for a very good reason.
