Family Holidays in Mexico: find your perfect rental from just £20 per night!
Mix up lazy days playing on the beach and enjoying safe water sports with visits to historic sites and hands-on museums, water parks, or more adventurous activities such as rafting. Our pick of family-friendly destinations in Mexico include:
Lying just south of Cancun is Rivera Maya. With its choice of activities ranging from idyllic beaches to nature reserves and archaeological sites, it is an ideal choice for family holidays in Mexico. All-inclusive family-friendly resorts can be found along the coast, many of which have kids clubs with exciting activities for children of all ages. Visit the eco-archaeological park at Xcaret and enjoy the fun of its water park, aquarium, zoo, museum, and theatre shows.
This Banderas Bay destination can't be beaten for pure family fun. The town is typically Mexican with its colour and noise, and is great to explore. Children can visit the turtle release programme run at the Casa Magna Marriott hotel. At Las Caletas beach, there is a daily programme of activities for all ages, from cookery for adults to stand-up paddle-boarding lessons for tots to teens.
Located in southwest Mexico, Oaxaca is where children can get a real feel for the colourful culture and history of Mexico. Browse indigenous markets for souvenirs, such as hand-carved and painted wooden animals known as alebrijes. Take a tour of the Zapotec rug weaving village, which is famous around the world for its rugs and tapestries.
This is where children can really develop a love of nature. Protected beaches with safe waters and pretty bays are flanked by a huge national park. Introduce children to snorkelling at La Entrega Beach or take a long nature walk at Hagia Sofia. Here, they can search for vibrantly coloured butterflies and flowers while trying some new and exotic fruit, such as Guaya, Icaco and Jacka in the visitor centre.
Combine a beach holiday with a few days in Mexico City, with its parks, museums and family attractions. A highlight is Chapultepec Park which is home to museums, a lake with boats to hire, a zoo, and plenty of green spaces for letting off holiday steam. Other big hits in Mexico City are the Acuario Inbursa, a mega-aquarium with everything from manta rays to crocodiles and the interactive children's museum, Papalote Museo del Niño.
