While family vacations are all about creating unforgettable memories and having quality time together, parents also deserve a little downtime now and then.

Dreams Resorts & Spas has you covered. At each of its properties, there are countless ways for kids and teens to have fun and stay entertained so you can enjoy a little "me" time.

The options include everything from state-of-the-art water playgrounds to climbing walls, sandcastle contests, treasure hunts, and even arts and crafts. There's also kids' theater, splash fountains, and did we mention the weekly campout adventures? Or the big-screen movies on the beach?

The Explorer's Club for Kids at Dreams Resorts & Spas have been designed specifically for kids between three and 12 years old.

Completely supervised by American Red Cross-certified staff, the club offers activities that are both exciting and educational. Depending on the resort, the activities may be based on such engaging topics as nature, science, or exploration, filling days with adventures that will be treasured for a lifetime.

In addition to the arts and crafts, treasure hunts and many other engaging options already mentioned, some clubs offer pinata competitions, a planetarium kids theater, pyramid-shaped climbing walls and indoor game areas with digital interactive game tables, board games, and video games.

As an added benefit parents can keep in touch with kids throughout the day with complimentary pagers or cell phones provided by the Explorer's Club staff.

Do you have a teen in your family who likes to enjoy time on his or her own once in a while? Some Dreams Resorts & Spas have offerings aimed at this age group as well. For 13 to 17-year-olds, the resorts offer various activities and social events. Teens can learn more about what is available from the Daily Activities/Entertainment program at each resort.

At Dreams Resorts & Spas in the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica and at Dreams Sands Cancun Resort & Spa, teens can enjoy a supervised entertainment program at the Core Zone Teens Club, which features daily activities, an array of sports and games and nightly social events.

A Dreams Entertainment Team is always on hand to enforce safety and responsibility while teens meet, mingle and play.

Access to the club is included when booking the Unlimited-Luxury experience at Dreams Resorts & Spas.

And not to be overlooked, many Dreams Resorts & Spas offer babysitting services for an additional cost, allowing parents to schedule some downtime even when the Explorer's Club or other activities are not available.

No matter which Dreams resort you visit, you'll find a range of activities and offerings designed to ensure a dream getaway for visitors of all ages.
