Kid-Friendly Activities in the Yucatán Peninsula

Traveling with the whole family can be tough.
Kids tend to get bored easily these days, and it’s hard to find activities to keep them busy.
If you’re headed to the Riviera Maya or Cancun area, GOGO Vacations has put together a list of kid-friendly sites that might be a perfect fit to keep your family having fun on vacation.
Xcaret Park
Children love going to the zoo, playing in the water, going on rides and experiencing live shows.
Xcaret has all this and more! It’s an eco-archeological park with all sorts of fun for families. Observe jaguars on the property or take in a show to learn about the Mayan culture.
With the slides, cenotes and snorkeling, your kids will be smiling ear to ear the entire day.
Chichen Itza
Depending on your hotel location, it might be worth taking a family trip to Chichen Itza. El Castillo, the pyramid in the midst of the Chichen Itza archaeological site, will have the kids in awe. You’ll be able to learn about the history of the pyramid and snap a few photos for your frames back home.
