Family friendly vacations are hard to come by, often they involve long car rides and trips to otherwise boring destinations. However, the Turks and Caicos Islands are a great destination for any family. Be sure that all your passports are in order before embarking on the trip. If your kids got passports over five years go there is no passport renewal for children, so you will have to apply for a new one.
Passports
Passports are necessary documents when it comes to international travel. In order for anyone to cross international lines they must have a passport. Before, children used to be able to travel on their parents passports, but now due to stricter laws, they must also have their own. Even infants are required to have a passport.
Caribbean
There are forty different islands that comprise the Turks and Caicos, only eight of these islands are actually inhabited. These islands are located in the Caribbean and are only a short flight from the East Coast. They feature beautiful beaches and world class resorts. In addition to being a popular host for weddings they also feature great family friendly resorts.
Geared Towards Family
Family friendly destinations are very hard to come by, often times they’re mostly geared towards newlyweds or couples traveling without children. This is what is great about the Turks and Caicos island resort. They have activities for all members of the family from age one to 99 and above.
Sesame Street
The resort features a Sesame Street Extravaganza which means that the loved characters from Sesame Street are at the resort. The resort offers a special camp for kids from 9am to 5pm and they can enjoy activities with their favorite Sesame Street pals, like Elmo, Grover, and even Big Bird. This means that while the children are enjoying their camp, parents can have alone time. For a bit extra favorite characters can also tuck children into bed at night after reading them a story or join them for breakfast in the morning.
Water Parks
Although the Caribbean features many beaches, it’s hard to wrangle kids at the ocean. For this reason the resort also features a variety of kid friendly water parks with Sesame Street themes as well. There are lifeguards featured at each.
Food
There are sixteen restaurants associated with the resort, this is sure to adhere to everyone’s taste. Of course the Sesame Street theme does not stop there, some restaurants have the characters as well. Parent’s can also enjoy a nice evening out by taking advantage of the babysitting services offered.
