💫 Tips for taking day trips with your kids this summer 💫 We took a day trip to @ripleysaquaca yesterday wnd it was great! We’ve done the aquarium quite a few times so we knew what to expect. Taking kids anywhere in my opinion is a mission but we can definitely prepare to make it easier and more fun!
Here👇🏽 are my top tips to enjoy day trips with kids ! *SAVE this post for your next trip*
Take them places where they can be active – the aquarium as perfect for this because there were so many hands on activities and spaces where the kids could be kids 🙂
Try to prioritize sleep -if possible plan around naps. We went to the aquarium right after my nieces nap and it was great! The daytime is very busy though so I recommend to visit in the evening for a quiet experience. PS: @ripleysaquaca has extended summer hours – 9am – 11pm.
Bring an umbrella stroller or carrier for your little ones for when they get tired of walking and for on the go naps If necessary! Avoid big bulky strollers and wagons as much as possible especially if your trip is during peak season.
Bring snacks that you can eat on the go/ in the stroller or schedule in time to stop and eat – also make sure to check ahead of time if your venue allows food to be brought in/ if they have an operating cafe or restaurant. The @ripleysaquaca cafe is currently closed however they do have vending machines throughout the building.
BE FLEXIBLE and know that not everything will go as planned! Kids will be kids so be prepared to go with the flow! Have realistic expectations and you won’t be so disappointed!!
Have fun and let me what day trips you have planned this summer ?
